EXPRESS: Iron Deficiency in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Perspectives
Keyword(s):
In left heart failure, iron supplementation (IS) is a first line treatment option, regardless of anemia. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a rare disease leading to right heart failure, is also associated with iron deficiency. While it is a very debated topic, recent evidence demonstrate that restoration of iron stores results in improved right ventricular function and exercise tolerance. Hence, IS may also be considered as an option in the treatment of PAH.
