Summary
This is a two-center, randomised, single-blind (physician), prospective, controlled study to
assess the acute (8 weeks) and chronic (16 weeks) effects of intravenous (IV) iron sucrose
supplementation in anaemic and non-anaemic iron deficient patients with chronic heart failure
(CHF).
The hypotheses are:
- Treatment of anaemic and non-anaemic iron-deficient CHF patients with IV iron sucrose
improves exercise capacity as measured by peak VO2.
- IV iron sucrose is safe and well tolerated in subjects with moderate to severe CHF.
