Anemia is very common in CHF and its successful treatment is associated with a significant improvement in cardiac function, functional class, renal function and in a marked fall in the need for diuretics and hospitalization.

When anemia in CHF is treated with EPO and IV iron, a marked improvement in cardiac and patient function is seen, associated with less hospitalization and renal impairment and less need for diuretics.
