Anemia in Cardiovascular Diseases
Abstract
Anemia is common in patients with heart disease and occurs in one third of patients with congestive heart failure and 10% to 20% of patients with coronary heart disease. The cause of anemia in heart disease is multifactorial and may include chronic inflammation, absolute and functional iron deficiency, impaired production and activity of erythropoietin, hemodilution, renal dysfunction. Hemodynamic and non-hemodynamic changes in anemia in the presence of chronic heart disease contribute to a high incidence of cardiovascular complications. Anemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease outcomes and probably acts as a mediator and a marker of a poor prognosis. The treatment for anemia in patients with heart disease includes erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, red blood cell transfusion and iron replacement.
