Abstract
Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a marker of circulating erythrocyte size variation (1). RDW is routinely examined as part of the complete blood cell count and is a convenient and inexpensive test (2) Besides its original role as a marker for differential diagnosis in patients with anemia, RDW is also used to assess the prognosis in patients with cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure or coronary events (3, 4).
