Heart Failure Academy masterclass: Iron deficiency in Heart Failure
Dr Rani Khatib, National Specialty Advisor for cardiovascular disease prevention will be leading this masterclass on iron deficiency in Heart Failure.
Why attend?
Iron deficiency, with or without anaemia, has been shown to be present in about 50% of patients with heart failure. It is associated with a poor quality of life, impaired effort tolerance, and increased mortality and considered an important comorbidity in people with chronic heart failure. The September 2025 update to NICE NG 106 Chronic heart failure in adults, recommends assessing iron status using appropriate tests (e.g. transferrin saturation (TSAT), serum ferritin and haemoglobin). Iron deficiency responds to appropriately provided iron therapy.
How does this work in practice? How do we interpret those tests in the context of heart failure? Which iron formulation should we use?
