Red Cell Distribution Width and Coronary Artery Calcification
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 Gürel et al. 1) They aimed to determine whether the RDW measures are associated with the coronary artery calcification score (CACS) in patients who did not present with obvious coronary artery disease ...
متن کاملAssociation between Red Blood Cell Distribution Width and Coronary Artery Calcification in Patients Undergoing 64-Multidetector Computed Tomography
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been found to be associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to determine whether the RDW measures are associated with the coronary artery calcification score (CACS) in patients who did not present with obvious coronary heart disease (CHD). SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 527 ...
متن کاملRed cell distribution width and coronary artery bypass surgery.
OBJECTIVES The red cell distribution width (RDW) has been identified as an independent risk factor with regard to prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease with or without heart failure. We sought to investigate the role of RDW in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). METHODS Analysis of consecutive patients on a validated prospective cardiac surge...
متن کاملElevated red blood cell distribution width is associated with higher recourse to coronary artery bypass graft.
BACKGROUND Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of heterogeneity in erythrocyte size used in the differential diagnosis of anemia. High levels are associated with elevated cardiovascular biomarkers and increased mortality. The hypothesis of this study is that high RDW levels on admission are associated with higher recourse to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in unstable angin...
متن کاملRed Blood Cell Distribution Width in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Objective: RDW is a measure of the variation of red blood cell width, reported as part of standard complete blood count; many paper reported results about the role of RDW in heart failure; the role of RDW in Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) is less known. Methods: We enrolled 173 consecutive patients, admitted to the coronary care unit of our hospital, with a diagnosis of obstructive ACS, documen...
