Iron deficiency is an extremely common comorbidity for 50% to 70% of our patients with heart failure in both the acute and chronic settings. It’s associated with poor exercise capacity, poor quality of life, and increased morbidity and mortality. In hospitalized patients with acute heart failure, iron deficiency is often present independent of anemia.
