Tissue Doppler and Strain Rate Imaging Detect Improvement of Myocardial Function in Iron Deficient Patients with Congestive Heart Failure after Iron Replacement Therapy

Background: Iron deficiency may contribute to diminished exercise tolerance in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) even in absence of anemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of correction of iron deficiency on functional capacity and myocardial function in patients with CHF...

Zusammenfassung:	Background: Iron deficiency may contribute to diminished exercise tolerance in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) even in absence of anemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of correction of iron deficiency on functional capacity and myocardial function in patients with CHF. Methods: We studied 40 patients with ejection fraction 12 g/dL, serum ferritin
