- The review investigated the safety and effectiveness of oral iron supplementation in patients with chronic heart failure who have iron deficiency or mild anemia, using evidence from 1803 records across multiple medical databases.
- Five randomized controlled trials involving 590 participants were analyzed, revealing no significant difference in all-cause mortality or adverse events between those receiving oral iron and a placebo.
- While oral iron slightly increased ferritin and transferrin saturation levels, these changes were not statistically significant; the results also indicated no enhanced exercise capacity as measured by the 6-minute walk test.
