Background: Red cell distribution width (RDW) in acute heart failure (AHF) is accepted as a
prognostic indicator with unclear pathophysiological ties. The aim of this study was to …

BACKGROUND: Red cell distribution width (RDW) has recently been discovered to be a
novel prognostic marker in patients with heart failure. However, the relation between RDW …

Background and objective Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a quantitative measure of the
variability in size of erythrocytes, and it is used for the differential diagnosis of anemia …

Aim. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of anisocytosis. Higher values are
robustly associated to adverse outcome in several conditions, including chronic heart failure …

Background Elevated red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a valid predictor of outcome
in acute heart failure (AHF). It is unknown whether elevated RDW remains predictive in AHF …

The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognostic role of red cell distribution width (RDW)
in a broad population of patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). In a retrospective …

Background: Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a novel prognostic marker independently
associated with adverse outcomes in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients …

Background Increased red blood cell distribution (RDW) has been associated with adverse
outcomes in patients with heart failure. We studied the association between baseline RDW …

Aims To study the long‐term prognostic value of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in
patients hospitalized with acute heart failure (AHF) and to compare the value of this …

Objective Red-cell distribution width (RDW) has been identified as a novel prognostic
marker in a heterogeneous group of heart failure patients. In this group, diastolic dysfunction …
