OBJECTIVES: The red blood cell distribution width has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. In the present study, we assessed the relationship between red cell distribution width values and cardiac troponin I levels in patients

Red cell distribution width and mortality in acute heart failure patients with preserved and reduced ejection fraction. [PDF]
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 patients with either preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% or ...

Red Cell Distribution Width, Revisited [PDF]
The red blood cell distribution width (RDW), as part of an automated complete blood count (CBC), is a routinely available parameter on hematology analyzers. This parameter is the most commonly reported index of the variation in red cell volume and can be used to detect subtle degrees of anisocytosis.

Using red blood cell distribution width to predict death after abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture
Background An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a life-threatening enlargement in the major vessel at the abdomen level. This study investigated the associations between different levels of red blood cell distribution width and all-cause mortality among ...

Red cell distribution width and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
Red cell distribution width is a measure of deviation of the volume of red blood cells. It is a marker of anisocytosis and often used to evaluate the possible causes of anemia. Elevated red cell distribution width levels are also associated with acute and chronic inflammatory responses.

Red Cell Distribution Width and Coronary Artery Calcification [PDF]
To the Editor: We have read the article entitled, "Association between Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (RDW) and Coronary Artery Calcification in Patients Undergoing 64-Multidetector Computed Tomography" by Gurel et al.1) They aimed to determine whether the RDW measures are associated with the coronary artery calcification score (CACS) in patients

A study on metformin-induced anemia using red blood cell indices and red cell distribution width
Background: Diabetic patients on metformin may have increased risk of developing anemia. Hematological parameters can easily reflect anisocytosis and differential analysis of anemia.
