One hundred and three (65%) patients had heart failure while 56 (35%) patients didn't

In contrast to these new findings regarding HCT and risk of new-onset heart failure, numerous studies have shown that in patients who already
have heart failure, a low HCT is associated with an increased risk of heart failure hospitalization as well as all-cause mortality.
