  • Description: Introduction:  Usually, there is an association between cardiovascular diseases and various co-morbid diseases, but the one that is frequently associated with but focused upon is anaemia. Anaemia occurs in more than 4% to less than 7% of the patients with acute decompensated heart failure.  Objective: This study aimed to determine a statistical correlation between the occurrence of anaemia and acute decompensated heart failure. Also, to determine the existence of other comorbid diseases with anemia and find a correlation between them. Methods:  Patients admitted in the period of year for a cardiovascular disease that is acute decompensated heart failure at IGIMS, Patna in a period of a year were considered as subjects for this study. There was a total of 100 participants, and their haemoglobin levels were tested. For men lesser than 12g/dL and women, lesser than 13g/dL were considered anaemic. The occurrence of anaemia was correlated to several co-morbid diseases and their significance was determined statistically. Results:  The association of anaemia with cardiovascular diseases was significant statistically. If the patient was a smoker or was hypertensive or was diabetic the probability of anemia was high in such patients. Conclusion:  The association of anaemia with cardiovascular diseases is significantly high. The anaemic patients in this study were generally men and were above 60 years of age. There were other co-morbid conditions with anemia which included diabetes mellitus 2 and hypertension. Recommendation: Intravenous (IV) Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM) should be considered for the treatment of iron deficiency.
