Depressive disorders and cardiohemodynamics in patients with anemia varying grades of severity with chronic heart failure and chronic kidney disease

Abstract

Compared to controls and anemic chronic heart failure (CHF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients had lower haemoglobin (P<0.0001), dilatation of the left and right heart cavities, lower ejection fraction (P<0.05). Increasing of depressive symptoms were find with increasing severity of anemia in patients with CHF and CKD. Conclusion: The progression of anemic syndrome was accompanied by dilation of the left and right cavities of heart, inotropic function decreasing. In patients with CHF and CKD observed depressive disorders which increased with severity of anemia.
