The relationship between iron deficiency (with or without anemia) and arrhythmic risk or ECG abnormalities in hospitalized HF patients remains poorly characterized. This is particularly relevant in settings where advanced iron therapies (e.g., intravenous iron supplementation) may not be readily available, and where simple clinical and electrocardiographic markers could help identify high-risk patients by evaluating the impact of iron deficiency (with and without anemia) arrhythmic events and resting ECG changes among patients admitted with heart failure. Understanding these associations may offer insights into the arrhythmogenic potential of iron deficiency and support the integration of iron status assessment into routine risk stratification and management of HF patients.
