Frequency of Anemia in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)

Among 102 HFpEF patients, the mean age was 67.38 ± 8.99 years. Female patients comprised 58.8% (n = 60), while male patients accounted for 41.2% (n = 42). Anemia was detected in 76% (n = 72) of the population. Diabetes mellitus was present in 57.8% (n = 59) and hypertension in 84.3% (n = 86) of participants. Within the anemic subgroup (n = 78), 75% (n = 59) were elderly, and female patients represented the majority, indicating a gender- and age-linked predisposition. Conclusion<i>:</i> Anemia is highly prevalent among HFpEF patients and is commonly associated with advanced age and comorbid conditions, highlighting the need for routine screening and early management to improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Among 102 HFpEF patients, the mean age was 67.38 ± 8.99 years. Female patients comprised 58.8% (n = 60), while male patients accounted for 41.2% (n = 42). Anemia was detected in 76% (n = 72) of the population. Diabetes mellitus was present in 57.8% (n = 59) and hypertension in 84.3% (n = 86) of participants. Within the anemic subgroup (n = 78), 75% (n = 59) were elderly, and female patients represented the majority, indicating a gender- and age-linked predisposition. Conclusion<i>:</i> Anemia is highly prevalent among HFpEF patients and is commonly associated with advanced age and comorbid conditions, highlighting the need for routine screening and early management to improve clinical outcomes.
