Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with unfavorable functional outcome after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Background: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is calculated in every blood count test and reflects variability in erythrocyte size. High levels mirror dysregulated erythrocyte homeostasis and have been associated with clonal hematopoiesis as well as higher mortality in several conditions.We ai...
