Registry summary
The goal of this phase IV, open-label, randomized clinical trial is to evaluate whether intravenous iron improves quality of life in adults aged 65 years and older with iron deficiency after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does intravenous iron improve quality of life at 6 and 12 months?
- Does it reduce frailty and adverse clinical outcomes?
Researchers will compare intravenous ferric carboxymaltose with standard of care.
Participants will:
- Be randomly assigned to receive intravenous iron or standard care
- Attend three study visits over 12 months
- Complete questionnaires and undergo blood tests
