Relationship Between Red Cell Distribution Width and Stroke in Patients With Stable Chronic Heart Failure: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis

Aim: We aimed to investigate the association between baseline red cell distribution width (RDW) level and the risk of stroke in patients with heart failure (HF). Methods: A total of 153 consecutive patients with HF (New York Heart Association [NYHA] I-III and left ventricular ejection fraction of
