Abstract

An extensive battery of laboratory tests is not required for most patients with heart failure. Routine testing should include a complete blood cell count (to detect anemia and systemic diseases with hematologic manifestations), measurement of renal function and electrolytes including magnesium (to exclude renal failure and to provide a baseline for subsequent therapy), liver function tests (to exclude accompanying liver pathology and provide a baseline), and blood glucose and lipid testing (to diagnose diabetes and dyslipidemia, both of which should be managed aggressively in heart failure patients).
