IV iron: low dose vs high dose for heart failure with low iron
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two different doses of IV iron (low vs high) to see which works better for people with heart failure and low iron levels. It may help you feel less tired and breathe easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your heart pumps less than 50% of the blood out with each beat (this is called a low ejection fraction).
- You have mild to moderate symptoms of heart failure (like shortness of breath or tiredness with daily activities).
- You have been in the hospital for heart failure in the last 6 months, or a blood test shows high levels of a heart stress marker (NT-proBNP or BNP).
- You have low iron levels (ferritin below 100, or ferritin 100-300 with a low transferrin saturation).
- You are not severely anemic, do not have severe kidney disease, and have not had a recent heart attack or stroke.

This study tests whether intravenous iron can improve outcomes for people with non-ischemic heart failure and low ejection fraction who are also iron deficient. If you fit the criteria, you may receive iron infusions to see if it helps your heart function and symptoms.
This study tests whether intravenous (IV) iron therapy can help older adults who have heart failure with preserved pumping function and low iron levels. It aims to improve symptoms and quality of life.
This trial tests whether giving intravenous iron to adults hospitalized with heart failure and low iron levels helps improve their health. You may be eligible if you have heart failure with reduced pumping function and low iron stores.
This study tests whether an oral iron supplement (a pill called sucrosomial iron) can help people with heart failure who have low iron feel better, have more energy, and walk farther. Participants will take the iron pill or a placebo (a pill without the active ingredient) for a period and will do exercise tests and answer questionnaires to see how they improve.
This study tests whether intravenous (IV) iron can help people with pulmonary hypertension feel better, have more energy, and enjoy a better quality of life. You may qualify if you have a type of pulmonary hypertension and low iron levels.
This study looks at how low iron levels affect heart rhythm problems and ECG results in people hospitalized with heart failure. It may help doctors understand if treating iron deficiency can reduce heart rhythm issues.
