Sammanfattning

Anemia as a comorbidity in chronic heart failure (CHF) is common and increases the risk for morbidity and mortality. Treatment of anemia without iron deficiency with erythropoetin stimulation has no effect. Iron deficiency is common in CHF and should be investigated. Treatment of iron deficiency in CHF improves symptoms and functional capacity. The effects are independent of hemoglobin, i.e. the presence of anemia or not. Treatment recommendations need to be updated based on these studies.
