Read our Heart Failure research guide →This trial is studying how —an iron supplement given through an IV—affects people with heart failure who also have low iron levels. Researchers will use heart imaging (called cardiac MRI) and simple fitness tests to see if the medication improves how the heart works and how patients feel.
Iron deficiency is very common in heart failure patients and makes symptoms worse, but doctors aren't yet sure exactly how this medication helps the heart recover. This study will provide that missing piece of information by carefully measuring changes in heart structure and function after treatment.

If you join, you'll come for an initial visit where you'll get a heart MRI scan, walk for 6 minutes to test your fitness, have your grip strength measured, complete a brief quality-of-life questionnaire, and have blood tests. Then you'll receive the iron treatment as part of your regular care. You'll return 24 hours later for blood work, and again at 30 days for repeat heart imaging, fitness tests, and questionnaires to see if anything has improved.
