My husband was diagnosed w/ ET. It's been 4 years. His RBC and Hgb are low. So by October last year, his doctor added Anagrelide everyday and HU every 3rd day After taking Anagrelide for 2 months, then he developed shortness of breath. Then I took him to ER, and was diagnosed heart failure . His lungs was accumulated w/ fluids and his heart ejection fraction is low By Echocardiogram) I have read from online that one of Anagrelide side effects could cause heart failure. It has been reported . So he stopped taking Anagrelide. It happened to my husband after taking 2 months of Anagrelide . So I wonder if it's just coincidence
