In the field of health heart diagnostics (HHD), the peripheral blood smear (abbreviated PBS or PBF, peripheral blood film) is a crucial diagnostic tool, especially for its use in analyzing blood cell properties under a microscope. Important details on the size, shape, and quantity of different blood cell types, such as red, white, and platelets, are provided by this test.
The Peripheral Blood Smear can aid in evaluating cardiovascular health in an indirect way, even though its primary use is in the diagnosis of blood disorders such as anemia, infections, and clotting issues. For example, anomalies in the form and function of red blood cells shown in a blood smear may be indicative of diseases such as anemia, which can impair cardiovascular function by raising cardiac workload and decreasing oxygen transport.
Additionally, the
