Background:Iron deficiency in patients with systolic heart failure (HF) was found to be associated with poorer exercise capacity and quality of life. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to assess whether iron supplementation in patients with systolic HF can improve exercise capacity and quality of life.Methods:We searched MEDLINE, and Embase databases from inception to May 2022 to identify the studies that reported the impact of iron therapy including oral and intravenous (IV) iron forms in systolic HF patients with iron deficiency. Outcomes of interest included 1) six minute walk test (6MWT) and 2) Quality of life (QoL) assessed by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ). Data from each study were combined using the random-effects model to calculate weight mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI)Results:Five studies (4 randomized controlled trials and 1 nonrandomized open-label study) with a total of 1,075 patients (610 in the intervention group and 465 in the control group) were included. In the intervention group, 474 patients received IV iron and 136 patients received oral iron therapy. Iron therapy was associated with significant improvement of 6MWT (WMD =22.81, 95% CI 0.47-45.14, p < 0.001) and KCCQ (WMD =4.68, 95%CI 0.43-8.93, p< 0.001). Interestingly, subgroup analysis showed that the main results were driven by IV iron therapy in both 6MWT (WMD =34.68, 95%CI 25.13-44.24, p< 0.001) and KCCQ (WMD =6.78, 95%CI 3.81-9.75, p< 0.001) as there was no significant improvement after oral iron therapy in 6MWT (WMD =0.15, 95% CI -23.86-24.16, p =0.99) and KCCQ (WMD =2.71, 95% CI-1.35-6.78, p =0.19). As shown in Figure 1.Conclusions:Intravenous iron therapy, but not oral iron therapy is associated with improved exercise capacity and QoL in patients with systolic HF. |
