Low hemoglobin, or anemia, means the blood cannot carry sufficient oxygen to vital organs, including the heart. This forces the heart to work harder, often leading to fatigue, palpitations, and shortness of breath. If left untreated, chronic anemia can cause heart enlargement or heart failure over time.
In people with pre-existing heart conditions, low hemoglobin can worsen angina and limit exercise capacity. It also affects recovery after cardiac surgery or heart attacks. Identifying the cause, whether iron deficiency, chronic disease, or vitamin deficiency—is key to managing it effectively.
