Research progress of red distribution width in atrial fibrillation / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Red blood cell distribution width is an index reflecting the size heterogeneity of circulating red blood cells, which is usually used for diagnosis and treatment of blood system diseases.In recent years, more and more evidences show that the increase of red blood cell distribution width level is closely related to the occurrence, development and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases.We focused on the relationship between red blood cell distribution width and atrial fibrillation (AF) and its possible mechanism, in order to provide some reference value for the clinical treatment of AF.
