Anemia may refine hemodynamic assessment in HF; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does anemia affect cardiovascular hemodynamics, therapeutic strategies, and clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure and hemodynamic congestion?
Anemia significantly alters cardiovascular hemodynamics and increases the risk of hospitalization for worsening heart failure in patients with hemodynamic congestion, confounding therapeutic planning.
