文摘To the Editor In a recent issue of Journal of Geriatric Cardiology, we read the article by LIU, et al.with interest.[1] They aimed to investigate whether red cell distribution width (RDW) had a relationship with mortality in elderly patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).The authors concluded that, RDW is an independent predictor of the increased intermediate-term all-cause mortality in elderly patients after PCI.The easy availability of testing for RDW at no additional cost may encourage its broader use in clinical practice.We would like to thank the authors for their comprehensive contribution.
