Abstract
It is well known that red cell distribution width (RDW) levels are affected by various clinical manifestations such as iron deficiency, thrombocytopenia, and inflammatory diseases. In the present study, the authors investigated to examine the prognostic significance of various plasma biomarkers in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. However, they only measured hemoglobin levels. They did not measure other factors including iron, vitamin B12, folate, and platelet count. In this study, because of all these causes, high RDW levels are unavailable as an independent predictor of mortality in patients with acute coronary syndromes.
