    The objective was to identify alterations in corpuscular constants in adult patients with erythrocytosis secondary to heart diseases at a healthcare institution specializing in cardiovascular diseases in Lima, during the period from 2016 to 2017. The study was descriptive, retrospective, and cross-sectional. A total of 125 hemogram results from patients who met the inclusion criteria were collected. It was found that 78% of the patients' results were normocytic normochromic and 22% were microcytic hypochromic. Of the latter, 71% had CHCM within the reference values, while 29% had CHCM below the reference value. The most represented age group was young adults, comprising 64% of the results, followed by middle-aged adults at 28% and older adults at 8%. Regarding hemoglobin, hematocrit, and erythrocyte count values, a predominance of male patients was found. This study provides more information on the behavior of hematological values and corpuscular constants in patients with erythrocytosis secondary to heart disease, offering quantitative data that may assist clinical laboratory professionals.
