Overview

Review reveals hemodynamic adaptations and structural cardiovascular remodeling in anaemia, highlighting risk factors for left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure.

Key Points

To delineate the non-haemodynamic, haemodynamic, and vascular compensatory responses to anaemia and describe their long-term effects on cardiac geometry and function.
Synthesized physiological pathways regulating oxygen delivery, including erythropoietin production and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate-mediated oxygen extraction.
Evaluated systemic hemodynamic responses, including nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation, reduced afterload, increased preload, and enhanced cardiac inotropy and chronotropy.
Assessed structural arterial adaptations and eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy in uncomplicated anaemia, coronary artery disease, and end-stage renal disease.
Haemodynamic compensation relies on increased cardiac output driven by decreased vascular resistance, increased venous return, sympathetic activation, and elevated catecholamine levels.
Severe anaemia with haemoglobin levels below 4–5 g/dl precipitates congestive heart failure, while also worsening angina in patients with underlying coronary artery disease.
Chronic volume overload induces reversible physiological eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy in uncomplicated cases, but promotes irreversible interstitial fibrosis and arterial stiffening in end-stage renal disease.
