what cardiovascular disease is due to lack of red blood cells?

Answer 1

Traumatic cardiac hemolytic anemia: a late complication of a Starr-Edwards mitral valve prosthesis

G. B. Weiss, A. W. Nienhuis, C. L. McIntosh and H. G. Klein

Severe, traumatic, cardiac, hemolytic anemia developed in a patient nine years after mitral valve replacement with a Starr-Edwards model 6120 prosthesis. Cardiac catheterization failed to demonstrate a perivalvular leak or prosthetic malfunction. Transfusion on two occasions resulted in accelerated hemolysis and failed to maintain an appreciable elevation of the hemoglobin level. At operation, a perivalvular leak was found. Replacement of the valve led to complete resolution of the hemolytic problem. The case demonstrates that cardiac hemolysis may be a good indicator of valve dysfunction.
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY CAUSES WHICH THE ABOVE RESPONDENETS HAVE ANSWERED, THIS IS A RARE POST OP. COMPLICATION.

Answer 2

the lack of red blood cells means there is a lack of oxygen carrying cells....this would mean ischemic heart problems such as angina or myocardial infarction...anemia is not a cardiovascular disease, although anemia may lead to cardiac ischemia...

Answer 3

im thinking its either anemia (which can cause shortness of breath and rapid heart rate) or some type of myelodysplastic syndrome (which i think seem to be more severe).

Answer 4

iron deficient anemia
A-plastic anemia
thalassemia major
increased distruction due to many things

Answer 5

cycle cell anemia
