Anemia in CHF and CHD patients is associated with poorer outcomes, including an increased risk of hospitalization, decreased exercise capacity, and poor quality of life. Despite the association with poorer outcomes, it is unclear whether treating anemia or iron deficiency will improve outcomes. Anemia treatment strategies in heart failure and CHD patients include erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) and red blood cell transfusions. Iron replacement in iron deficient patients with or without anemia has also been investigated. The objective of this evidence review is to evaluate the balance of benefit and harms of these treatments. 410 0$aEvidence-based synthesis program (Series) 517 $aTreatment of anemia in patients with heart disease 606 $aAnemia 606 $aHeart$xDiseases$xDiagnosis 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aTechnical reports.$2lcgft 615 0$aAnemia. 615 0$aHeart$xDiseases$xDiagnosis. 676 $a616.152 700 $aKansagara$b Devan$01351781 712 02$aUnited States.$bDepartment of Veterans Affairs.$bHealth Services Research and Development Service, 712 02$aPortland VA Medical Center.$bEvidence-based Synthesis Program Center. 712 02$aEvidence-based Synthesis Program (U.S.) 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910717345703321 996 $aTreatment of anemia in patients with heart disease$93275653 997 $aUNINA
