Red Cell Distribution Width Has a Negative Prognostic Role in Dogs with Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease

Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a quantitative measurement of anisocytosis. This hematological parameter is an important prognostic biomarker for different cardiovascular disorders in humans but its influence on survival has been poorly investigated in dogs with cardiovascular disease. The RDW...
