HAZLET, N.J. - May 13, 2024 - PRLog -- In this program, faculty members will explain to attendees the deleterious consequences of ID, the importance of early and regular screening for ID in HF patients, and current evidence and guideline recommendations.

The educational objectives include:
■ Recognize that iron deficiency in heart failure patients occurs with and without anemia
■ Describe the prognosis for heart failure patients with iron deficiency
■ Explain the clinical evidence for intravenous iron supplementation in patients with heart failure
