| Abstract: | Anemia is a well‐described comorbidity in patients with heart failure and has been associated with decreased survival rates after heart transplant. The causes of anemia are broad, and identification of the underlying etiology is critical for management. Herein, we report an unusual case of severe anemia complicating cardiac transplantation. |
