While multiple clinical trials demonstrated a positive impact on patient outcomes with IV iron therapy in patients with HFrEF and iron deficiency, few have addressed the long-term effects of IV iron treatment on morbidity, mortality, and exercise tolerance in these patients. Join Dr. Robert Mentz and Dr. Piotr Ponikowski as they discuss the design of the HEART-FID trial and its potential impact on the clinical applications of long-term treatment with IV iron products in patients with heart failure and iron deficiency.
