Anemia associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is a common condition in older persons. Prevalence and prognostic role of anemia were extensively studied in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) or congestive heart failure (CHF) whereas limited data were available on patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). This study was conducted to assess the clinical prevalence and prognostic relevance of anemia in elderly patients affected by AF and other CVDs.
