Clinicians need greater awareness of the importance of investigating and treating anaemia in patients with chronic heart failure due to its association with poorer outcomes.

There needs to be more awareness among clinicians about the importance of investigating and treating anaemia in patients with CHF.
Pisaniello et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
