Anemia is common among patients with heart failure. The degree of anemia in patients with heart failure after acute myocardial infarction is associated with a poor prognosis, and anemia in patients with chronic heart failure from any cause has repeatedly been shown to predict a poor outcome.

This issue brings together all of the most current information about the relationship of anemia to heart failure and the role of anemia treatment in management of heart failure.
