Abstract
The impact of hemoglobin level on the risk of new-onset HF in the community is best described as U shaped. Interestingly, higher hemoglobin levels, already within the high-reference range, are associated with an increased incidence. This in contrast to anemia, where a higher annual HF incidence was only observed for severe anemia.
