Figure 1 Schematic relationship of left ventricular (LV) mass and hematocrit (Hct) in the general population. The U-shaped curve indicates an increase of cardiac mass with both anemia and polycythemia, albeit due to different mechanisms (upper panel). Reproduced with permission from reference [51].

Figure 4 Kaplan-Meier survival analysis for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in men and women stratified by presence versus absence of anemia. Log-rank statistics were significant (P = 0.03 for men, P = 0.04 for women) for differences between anemic and non-anemic subjects. Dotted line represents anemia; solid line represents nonanemia.
