Study about the Relationship of Anemia and Heart Failure

In order that anemia and iron lack might clarify influence which it has on heart failure, we study 30 patients [75years old of age, 57% of a male, 37% of EF, NYHA class (1/2/3/4): 0/7/11/12]. Anemia defined as less than [ male Hb13 g/dL ] and less than [ female Hb12 g/dL ]. Iron lack (ID) defined as less than serum ferritin 100mg or serum ferritin 100-300mg/dL of TSAT20% less than. 23 examples (77%) observed anemia in 19 examples (63%), and IDA was observed in 16 examples (53%). There was more IDA at a woman than IDA8/13 (62%), and IDA8/17 of a male (47%). In an IDA patient, although serum Cr concentration and cystatin C and Epo were high compared with the patient who is not IDA, the significant difference was not accepted. As for neither a CRP value nor BNP, the significant difference was accepted. About how anemia influences a prognosis by affecting which heart failure index, the further examination is required.
