Coexistence of coronary artery disease with anemia is associated with an increased risk of death, myocardial infarction and bleeding complications. Presence of anemia adversely affects the outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention, in particular in acute coronary intervention (ACS). Incidence of anemia in patients with ACS is relatively high (approx. 19-30%), so hemoglobin levels should be evaluated upon admission, and considered in risk stratification.
