A Study on Red Cell Indices in Patients Having Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a burgeoning problem worldwide with more than 20 million people affected. Search for a cost effective marker is ongoing to stratify the risks and outcome of heart failure. In this aspect this study aims to show that Red cell distribution width (RDW) when elevated is a predictor of all cause morbidity and low ejection fraction in a patient with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.
