Erythropoietin, heart disease and global rate

Publication date: January 2013 Source:Journal of Medical Hypotheses and Ideas, Volume 7, Issue 1 Author(s): Viroj Wiwanitkit In medicine, the relationship between erythropoietin and heart disease is sometimes mentioned. An attempt to demonstrate connection between erythropoietin and heart failure is very interesting. The attempt is based on the interrelationship among erythropoietin disturbance, anemia and heart disorder. However, the factors that can affect the endemic pattern must be considered. Graphical abstract Highlights ► Erythropoietin is well known for its relationship to anaemia and anaemia-related disorder. ► The attempt to relate erythropoietin and cardiac disorder is very interesting. ► The relationship between erythropoietin and heart failure is an example of a new hypothesis. ► Linking heart failure and erythropoietin based on geographical parameters can be imagined. ► Some diseases such as thalassaemia can affect the endemic pattern.
