2013, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The association was dose-dependent and largely independent of other factors assessed at baseline. Previous studies conducted in middle-aged populations have also reported an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) at the upper end of the hematocrit distribution [8–15]. Some studies found indications of a dose–response relationship [11–13,15], and others reported very small risk differences at the lower end of the hematocrit distribution [8–10].
Usefulness of the blood hematocrit level to predict development of heart failure in a community
2012, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :In a previous Framingham report, Gagnon et al2 used a 2-year pooled observation method to evaluate the short-term effect of HCT on cardiovascular disease risk and found that low and high HCT levels were associated with increased risk. In contrast, investigators from the Honolulu Heart Study found no association between HCT and CHD.3 Our analysis differs from those studies in several important ways.
