AB  - INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: There is a great variability in the prevalence of 
      anemia in heart failure (HF) according to cohort based studies where the majority 
      of patients have depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Our study 
      has aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anemia in HF within the usual hospital 
      clinical practice. METHODS: An initial analysis was made of a prospective cohort 
      of inpatients with HF admitted during 3 months in 15 Internal Medicine Services 
      including all health system levels. We used the World Health Organization (WHO) 
      criteria to define anemia (hemoglobin [Hb] < 12 g/l in women and < 13 g/l in men) 
      and a value > or = 45% as preserved LVEF. RESULTS: A total of 391 patients with 
      an average age of 77.9 +/- 9.4; 239 women (61.1%). The 52.7% of the cases had 
      anemia. Regarding multiple associated factors to anemia in the bivariant 
      analysis, the regression model indicated the following variables: preserved LVEF 
      (odds ratio [OR] 3.03), not being HF debut (OR 1.85), glomerular filtration (OR 
      0.97), functional class III-IV of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) (OR 
      0.53), arterial vascular disease (OR 0.41), antiaggregant treatment (OR 0.56) and 
      treatment with nitrites (OR 0.48). CONCLUSION: Prevalence of anemia in HF is very 
      high in usual clinical practice, that most frequently occurs in subjects with 
      preserved LVEF.
