Red cell distribution width is associated with future risk of incident stroke. The Tromsø study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-20)
Red cell distribution width (RDW), a measure of the variability in size
of the circulating erythrocytes, is associated with cardiovascular morbidity
and mortality. We aimed to investigate whether RDW was associated
with incident stroke and case fatality in subjects recruited
from the general population. Baseline characteristics were obtained
from 25,992 subjects participating in the fourth ...
Impact of Chronic Inflammation, Assessed by hs-CRP, on the Association between Red Cell Distribution Width and Arterial Cardiovascular Disease: The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-10)
Red cell distribution width (RDW), a measure of variability in size of circulating
erythrocytes, is associated with arterial cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the
underlying mechanism remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the impact of
chronic inflammation as measured by high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) on this
relationship, and explore whether RDW could be a mediator in the causal pathway
between ...
Red Cell Distribution Width Is Associated With Incident Myocardial Infarction in a General Population: The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Red Cell Distribution Width and Risk of Atrial Fibrillation and Subsequent Thromboembolism: The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-28)
<i>Introduction</i>- Red cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with cardiovascular diseases, including atrial fibrillation (AF) and venous thromboembolism (VTE). Whether RDW is a risk marker for thromboembolic events in AF patients is scarcely known. We aimed to assess the association between RDW and the risk of AF, and AF-related VTE and ischemic stroke, in a population-based cohort.<p>
