Iron deficiency definitions and their clinical and prognostic associations across the spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction in heart failure
ID is common and clinically relevant across the HF spectrum, irrespective of definition, and is associated with impaired quality of life and adverse outcomes in patients with LVEF <50%. In HFpEF, however, the prognostic impact of ID appears less pronounced and may depend on the definition applied, highlighting the need for refined diagnostic criteria in this group.
