Background: Anaemia of different etiologies, but also iron deficiency without anaemia, worse symptoms and prognosis of patients with heart failure or coronary artery disease. Development of anemia in patients with chronic heart failure is multifactorial, one of most important mechanism being chronic inflammatory activation that impairs iron metabolism.
