Red cell distribution width in relation to incidence of coronary events and case fatality rates: a population-based cohort study.

Summary, in English

High red cell distribution width (RDW) is a strong prognostic factor in patients with cardiovascular disease. We investigated the association between RDW and incidence of acute coronary events (CEs) and fatal outcome in subjects who subsequently experienced a first CE.
