Iron deficiency and heart rhythm problems in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether low iron levels are linked to irregular heartbeats or heart rhythm issues in people with heart failure. If you are in the hospital for heart failure, your doctor may check your iron levels to see if that affects your heart rhythm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You are in the hospital for heart failure, whether it is new or has worsened.
- You have had an ECG (a test that records your heart's electrical activity) and blood tests, including iron studies.
- You agree to take part and sign a consent form.
- You do not have a known genetic heart rhythm disorder, recent IV iron or blood transfusion in the past 3 months, dialysis for kidney failure, anemia from other causes, severe electrolyte imbalances, active infection, chronic inflammation, recent chemotherapy, or severe heart valve disease.

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 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.
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 trial tests whether giving iron through an IV can help older adults with heart failure who also have low iron levels. It aims to see if this treatment improves symptoms and quality of life.
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.
