Objectives

Effect of anemia correction in patients with systolic as well as diastolic heart failure, which has not been well studied or analyzed.

1.) To ascertain Anemia in heart failure and its relationship to Renal Function.

2.) To evaluate the role of correction of anemia in chronic heart failure (HF) patients on the left ventricular (LV) remodeling and renal status with the help of laboratory and echocardiographic parameters.

3.) To study the improvement in functional class (FC) in relation to anemia correction in patients with systolic as well as diastolic heart failure.

Methods

Study population will include 203 heart failure patients of which Group A will have 27 systolic heart failure patients with anemia, Group B will have 27 diastolic heart failure patients with anemia and Group C 149 patients with both systolic and diastolic heart failure patients without anemia. All the 54 heart failure patients with anemia were treated with standard heart failure measures along with correction of anemia and the remaining 149 patients without anemia will get heart failure measures alone.
