Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice and is a major health problem associated with remarkable morbidity, mortality and has considerable healthcare costs. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) reflects the heterogeneity of the volume and size of red blood cells. It is an easily measured and inexpensive index that has been associated with several cardiovascular disease states. Accumulating evidence suggests that RDW is a prognostic marker of AF in various clinical settings. In this article, we review the available data regarding the prognostic role of RDW in AF development and perpetuation in diverse disease states as well as its role on the prediction of adverse outcomes.
