Background: Iron deficiency (ID) and anaemia are frequent in Heart Failure (HF) patients, but there are few data about its prevalence and prognosis in elderly HF patients with preserved ejection fraction (HF-PEF).

Aim: The aim of this study is to ascertain if ID alone or associated with anaemia is related to negative clinical outcomes in elderly patients with HF-PEF.

Design/Methods: 139 consecutive patients discharged from our Internal Medicine Department with a diagnosis of HF-PEF from June 2011 to June 2014 were followed up until June 2015. All demographic and clinical data, echocardiography, biochemical parameters, treatment at discharge, new hospital admissions and death were registered in a specific database.
