“…RDW is also an important inflammatory marker that it is associated with coronary artery disease and both acute and chronic heart failure (16)(17)(18). Two previous studies indicated that preoperative RDW levels were associated with POAF (10,11). In the present study, the preoperative RDW levels were similar between the groups, but the postoperative RDW levels were significantly higher in the POAF group.…”

“…Red blood cell distribution width (RDW), or anisocytosis, is an indicator of variability in the size of erythrocytes. Recent studies showed that RDW is also an inflammation marker and may predict POAF (10,11).…”

“…The best RDW cutoff points from which to predict 3-year allcause mortality and MAEs were 13.85% and 13.55%, respectively. Previous studies have demonstrated that RDW is independently associated with both AF [1,3] and postoperative new-onset AF following elective cardiac surgery [2,5] with a high sensitivity and specificity. Additionally, elevated RDWs are associated with both the presence and the increased severity of spontaneous echo contrast in the left atrium [22], which is thought to be a manifestation of RBC aggregation and is linked to the development of thromboembolism.…”

“…Red cell distribution width (RDW), a conventional measure of anisocytosis, is routinely reported in complete blood cell counts (CBCs) and is recognized as a novel risk marker of atrial fibrillation (AF) [1][2][3][4][5], heart failure (HF) [6,7] and coronary artery disease (CAD) [8]. Moreover, elevated RDW is associated with increased mortality in the general population [9].…”

“…We have read with great interest the recently published article by Korantzopoulos and colleagues [1]. In this report, authors aimed to examine the potential association of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) with postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) and to evaluate its relative value compared to other conventional inflammatory indexes.…”
