Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

An open label,single-center, non-interventional prospective study with the aim on investigating the effect of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose in restoring iron status and reducing the risk of severe arrhythmic events in participants with iron deficiency and a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with HFrEF already scheduled to receive IV FCM to treat iron deficiency will be included in this registry trial. These patients undergo clinical examination, echocardiography, blood testing, 6-minute walking testing, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, cardiac implantable device interrogation, 24-hour Holter monitoring and quality of life quantification as part of standard clinical practice. This database will be extracted from clinical databases and stored on a separate, registry database. The study will examine the effect of IV FCM on patients' iron stores, arrhythmic burden, hospitalizations and clinical, echocardiographic, exercise-testing-derived and biological markers of disease severity such as 6-minute walking distance, peak VO2 consumption, LVEF and LV global longitudinal strain and NT-proBNP.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Participants

HFrEF patients undergoing iron therapy with intravenous carboxymaltose (FCM). FCM administered dosage as per clinical routine. FCM administration is repeated no sooner than 3 months than last therapy, based on repeat ferritin and transferrin saturation levels.
