Description
Low blood hemoglobin and blocked heart arteries often appear together, and Khalid and co-authors test how tightly they track in heart attack patients. They review 265 patients at a Lahore hospital, splitting them by a scoring system into non-severe and severe artery disease, and compare blood counts between the groups. Over half the patients were anemic.
The severe group averaged clearly lower hemoglobin, about 10.1 against 12.9 grams per deciliter, and the two measures moved in opposite directions with a strong correlation. Statistically, hemoglobin alone explained nearly half the spread in disease severity scores. The authors propose the cheap blood value as a risk marker for flagging high-risk patients early.
