Iron Deficiency in Heart Failure: Efficacy and safety of intravenous iron therapy

ConclusionIV iron therapy improves symptoms, exercise capacity, and quality of life, at least in the short to intermediate time. However, there is still currently no standardised criteria used to define iron deficiency and the underlying mechanism of iron deficiency in CHF remains incompletely understood. Further work is required to improve the ability to identify iron deficiency in patients with CHF and evaluate the effect of iron repletion on hard end‐points including hospitalisation and mortality.This article is protected by copyright.
