A member asked:
Is there anything in a cbc that would indicate a possible heart problem?

Nope.: Heart problems do not show up on the cbc. However, anemia (low hemoglobin) can worsen heart problems. It can also cause high outputput chf.

Cbc: There is nothing in a CBC that would be either sensitive or specific for identifying a cardiac problem.
