#Hemoglobin concentration and risk of arterial and venous #thrombosis in 1.5 million Swedish and Danish blood donors
..The risk of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke increased with higher hemoglobin concentration in both men and women. The HRs for myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke in men with hemoglobin concentration ≥ 17.5 g/dL were 3.52 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.85–4.36) and 2.36 (95% CI, 1.63–3.43), respectively, compared to the reference group. The corresponding HRs for women with hemoglobin concentration ≥ 16.0 g/dL were 3.22 (2.12–4.89) and 2.35 (1.37–4.02) for myocardial … Continue reading #Hemoglobin concentration and risk of arterial and venous #thrombosis in 1.5 million Swedish and Danish blood donors
