Abstract:
There is a very high prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in patients with systolic heart failure. The present study is a prospective, parallel, 1:1 randomized controlled trial of intravenous ferric-carboxy maltose compared with standard of care in patients with heart failure. A total of 70 patients who presented to us with symptomatic chronic heart failure were included and randomly assigned to either groups (35 per group). Post 12 weeks, there were improvements noticed in peak VO2, New York Heart Association functional classification, 6-min walk test distance covered and reduction in Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire score in the ferric-carboxy maltose as compared with standard of care group. However, no improvement in ejection fraction was noticed.

Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart...
