• Evaluation and Long-Term Prognosis of New-Onset, Transient, and Persistent Anemia in Ambulatory Patients With Chronic Heart Failure W. H. Wilson Tang, Wilson Tong, Anil Jain, Gary S. Francis, C. Martin Harris, James B. Young We reviewed records of 6,159 consecutive ambulatory patients with chronic heart failure followed up at a single center between 2001 and 2006, and found the prevalence of anemia (hemoglobin <12 g/dl for men, <11 g/dl for women) to be 17.2%. At 6-month follow-up, new-onset anemia developed in 16% of patients without prior anemia, whereas 43% patients with anemia at baseline had resolution of their hemoglobin levels. Higher total mortality rates were evident in patients with persistent anemia (58% vs. 31%, p < 0.0001) or with incident anemia (45% vs. 31%, p < 0.0001) compared with those with without anemia at 6 months.
