We studied the relationship between anemia and chronic diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract in patients with CHD. Patients with CHD and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) had the lowest hemoglobin levels and erythrocyte counts in the absence of pronounced independent effect of GERD. This finding suggests common pathogenesis of CHD, GERD and anemia in patients with coronary problems.
