Hypophosphataemia risk associated with ferric carboxymaltose in heart failure: A pooled analysis of clinical trials.
Abstract
Iron deficiency is a common finding among patients with heart failure (HF) and is associated with adverse outcomes, including decreased quality of life, increased risk of hospitalization, and decreased survival. Intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) has been shown to improve outcomes among patients with HF and concomitant iron deficiency, but FCM is associated with an increased risk of hypophosphataemia. We aimed to better characterize this risk among HF populations.
