Pierre Ambrosi, Gilbert Habib (2023-05-06). Correspondence] Unanswered questions from the IRONMAN trial. thelancet.com There is currently no strong evidence that intravenous iron saves lives or decreases the incidence of hospitalisation in patients with heart failure. The demonstrated benefit in the IRONMAN1 and FAIR-HF2 trials is a functional improvement. This benefit must be weighed against the risks to the patient. Hypophosphataemia is common after intravenous iron.3 However, it is rarely symptomatic and only leads to muscle weakness and bone fracture in a minority of patients receiving repeated intravenous iron.

Ambrosi and Habib cast doubt on the morbidity and mortality benefits of intravenous iron in heart failure and commented on the potential risks of hypophosphataemia, allergic reaction, and infection. Although there is no current evidence that intravenous iron reduces the risk of death, there is good evidence that it reduces heart failure hospitalisation risk.1—3 We agree that any proposed treatment should be discussed with patients as part of shared decision making.
