The adjusted ferritin inflammation index: a novel metric for predicting mortality in heart failure with reduced and mildly reduced ejection fraction
Adjusted Ferritin Inflammation Index is a novel inflammation-adjusted metric that independently predicts mortality in HF with reduced ejection fraction/HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction patients and outperforms traditional iron markers. Its use may enhance risk stratification and inform future strategies for iron deficiency management in HF.
