Reduction of iron stores and clinical outcomes in peripheral arterial disease: outcome comparisons in smokers and non-smokers.
Abstract A prospective randomized trial suggested that iron (ferritin) reduction improved outcomes in smokers. The present study reanalyzed the trial results in smokers compared with non-smokers. Randomization of 1262 men with peripheral arterial disease (540 smokers and 722 non-smokers) to iron reduction (phlebotomy) or control groups permitted analysis of the effects of iron reduction and smoking on primary (all-cause mortality) and secondary (death plus non-fatal myocardial infarction or stroke) endpoints. Iron reduction resulted in significant improvement in the primary (hazard ratio [HR] 0.661, 95% confidence...
