Evaluates RDW's predictive value for new-onset heart failure, suggesting its use as a screening marker.
Background: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW), a routine and inexpensive blood parameter, is widely available and may serve as a useful screening marker for heart failure (HF).This study aims to evaluate RDW's predictive value for new-onset HF in the general population and examine its incremental predictive performance alongside NT-proBNP.
