Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Main Objective: 1. To determine, relative to placebo, the effect of iron repletion therapy using intrravenous (IV) FCM on exercise capacity assessed by 6-minute walk test (6MWT) at 24 weeks after initiation of therapy in subjects with CHF and ID;Secondary Objective: 1. To evaluate the effect of IV FCM compared to placebo on New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class.<br><br>2. To evaluate the effect of IV FCM compared to placebo on relevant biomarkers/laboratory parameters.<br><br>3. To evaluate the effect of IV FCM compared to placebo on <br>health related quality of life (QoL).<br><br>4. To evaluate the tolerability and safety of IV FCM compared to placebo.;Primary end point(s): Change in 6 minute walk test (6MWT) from baseline to Week 24 visit after start of investigational drug;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 24
