  • Overview

    Iron deficiency is an independent predictor of decreased functional capacity and reduced survival in our patients with heart failure. Multiple clinical trials have addressed the issue, but we continue to struggle with the clinical implications of the data. Join Drs. Stefan Anker, Robert Mentz, and Piotr Ponikowski as they discuss the evidence from IV iron trials in heart failure, past and present, and what the results mean for your practice and patients. 

  • Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest

    In accordance with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence, Global Learning Collaborative (GLC) requires that individuals in a position to control the content of an educational activity disclose all relevant financial relationships with any ineligible company.

  • Learning Objectives

    After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:

    • Discuss the key findings from past clinical trials for the use of IV iron products to treat iron deficiency in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)
    • Evaluate the findings from outcomes analyses of functional health, cardiovascular hospitalization, and mortality with the use of IV iron supplementation in patients with HFrEF
    • Contrast design and key findings of dosing and safety from past and current clinical trials in IV iron products
  • Target Audience

    This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of cardiologists, primary care physicians, nephrologists, and all other HCPs involved in the identification and treatment of patients with heart failure.
