Iron and cardiovascular health: A review.

Iron is an essential element for the biological processes of living organisms, including the production of crucial oxygen-carrying proteins, formation of heme enzymes, and playing roles in electron transfer and oxidation-reduction reactions.

Minor deficiencies of iron have been found to have negative impact on cardiovascular function in patients with heart failure (HF).
