Iron deficiency determines the quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), regardless of the status of anemia showed Comin-Colet J, Enjuanes C, Gonzalez G with colleagues.
The data were obtained on 552 patients with chronic heart failure with an average age of 72 year and by functional class NYHA III syndrome and IV.
The conclusion is simple - as iron deficiency, but not anemia, is associated with the severity of heart failure, which is what the correction should be dealt with in this group of patients in the first place.
