Iron deficiency impacts heart failure
Impact of iron deficiency on congestion and postdischarge survival in patients recently hospitalised for decompensated heart failure: a multicentre, prospective, observational analysis of the FERIC-RO study.
Relevant findings on iron's role.
Our investigation focused on the impact of iron deficiency in patients with worsening chronic heart failure, seeking clarity on how it affects their condition and recovery. We enrolled 163 patients from multiple centers who were hospitalized for this serious health issue. By evaluating iron deficiency at discharge, we distinguished those affected by low iron levels and compared various health indicators between groups.
We discovered that over half of the patients, 54.6%, had iron deficiency. Those with lower iron were more likely to exhibit signs of congestion and were categorized into more advanced heart failure classes. Interestingly, their levels of NT-proBNP, a crucial marker associated with heart failure, were significantly higher upon admission and didn’t improve much during their hospital stay.
While we found that mortality rates within 30 days had no significant difference between patients with and without iron deficiency, a notable increase in deaths was observed at 90 days post-discharge for those with iron deficiency. This suggests that iron levels could potentially influence recovery, especially in the longer term.
In conclusion, patients dealing with both chronic heart failure and iron deficiency showed more unresolved symptoms and poorer outcomes post-discharge. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring iron levels in patients facing heart issues, paving the way for future studies into treatment effectiveness and potential benefits of iron therapies.

Improved hemoglobin levels
Awesome additive! I ordered this iron supplement for my friend who suffers from muscle myositis and has low hemoglobin due to hormone treatment. She struggled with fatigue and muscle pain, despite trying various pharmacy drugs. After 3 months on this iron, her hemoglobin rose from 117 to 143, and she felt much better without any side effects. She even returned to work! Now, I’m taking it myself for prevention. Many thanks to the manufacturers!

Ineffective for me
I believe the iron is good, but it didn’t help me. My anaemia isn't iron deficient; it’s caused by an unclear rheumatic disease. It seems straightforward to fix with iron and vitamins, yet it hasn't worked for my cardiovascular disease.
