IRON DEFICIENCY AND ANEMIA IN HEART FAILURE

IRON DEFICIENCY AND ANEMIA IN HEART FAILURE

Heart failure is an international health problem with its high incidence, prevalence, morbidity and mortality rates. There are many complications that can be seen in patients with heart failure due to pathophysiology, drug side effects, comorbid comorbid diseases and limitations caused by heart failure. Comorbid conditions adversely affect the clinical course, worsen the prognosis, make treatment difficult, and make the clinical picture difficult to control. One of the most common comorbid conditions in heart failure is iron deficiency and anemia. It is important that healthcare professionals, be attentive to iron deficiency and anemia, and raise awareness among patients and their caregivers. In this article, the importance of iron deficiency and anemia, which are common in heart failure patients, will be discussed.
