Anaemia and iron deficiency (ID) are important co-morbidities in patients with chronic heart failure (HF) and both may lead to reduced exercise capacity.Methods: We enrolled 331 out-patients with stable chronic HF (mean age: 64 +/- 11 years, 17% female, left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] 35 +/- 13%, bodymass index [BMI] 28.5 +/- 5.2 kg/m(2), New York Heart Association [NYHA] class 2.2 +/- 0.7, chronic kidney disease 35%, glomerular filtration rate 61.7 +/- 20.1mL/min). Anaemia was defined according to World Health Organization criteria (haemoglobin [Hb] < 13 g/dL in men, < 12 g/dL in women). ID was defined as serum ferritin
