This is a consensus document that seeks to synthesize the information available on anemia and iron deficiency and its behavior in patients with HF, which is divided into pathophysiology, classification, clinical scenarios and algorithms (clinical pathways), treatment, and follow-up. This article integrates international recommendations based on evidence and presents a synthesis of management strategies.
