Abstract: Background: Anemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common in patients with heart failure with preserved left ventricular fraction (HFpEF). However, it is entirely unknown about the impact of anemia on prognosis in HFpEF patients with CKD. In this study, we investigated the impact of anemia on prognosis and the optimal hemoglobin (Hb) levels to predict prognosis in HFpEF patients with CKD. Methods and Results: We prospectively examined 523 consecutive HFpEF patients enrolled in Japanese heart failure syndrome with preserved ejection fraction registry. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of
