Renal dysfunction and anemia in patients with heart failure with reduced versus normal ejection fraction.

Background: The presence of anemia and renal dysfunction grants a bad prognosis for patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFREF). The impact on patients with heart failure and normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) is not widely studied.

Objectives: To study the prevalence and the prognosis of anemia and renal dysfunction (RD) in patients with heart failure according to the type of ventricular dysfunction.

[Anemia and heart failure in a community-based cohort: comparison with a specialized outpatient clinic].

Background: Anemia is common in patients with heart failure (HF). Its prevalence in patients with HF from a community-based cohort is unknown in our country.

Objective: evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of patients with anemia in a non-selected population with HF from a community-based cohort, comparing it with that of a HF population treated at a specialized outpatient clinic.
