简要总结
This study will be conducted to determine the efficacy and safety of lactoferrin versus oral iron versus lactoferrin plus oral iron as an add on therapy in reduced ejection fraction heart failure patients with iron deficiency.
•Patients will be randomly distributed into the three groups
- All patients will be subjected to baseline data assessment
- Follow up after 12 weeks
