Relationship between red cell distribution width and echocardiographic parameters in patients with diastolic heart failure

Relationship between red cell distribution width and echocardiographic parameters in patients with diastolic heart failure

Red cell distribution width (RDW) was found to be a prognostic marker in heart failure patients. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between RDW and echocardiographic parameters in diastolic heart failure (DHF). Seventy-one consecutive DHF patients (26 men) and 50 controls (21 m...
