description | Iron interactions with the cardiovascular system were proposed about half a century ago, yet a clear-cut understanding of this micronutrient and its intricacies with acute and chronic events is still lacking. In chronic heart failure, patients with decreased iron stores appear to benefit from intravenous administration of metallic formulations, whereas acute diseases (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke) are barely studied in randomized controlled trials in humans. However, proof-of-concept studies have indicated that the dual redox characteristics of iron could be involved in atherosclerosis, necrosis, and ferroptosis. To this end, we sought to review the currently available body of literature pertaining to these temporal profiles of heart diseases, as well as the pathophysiologic mechanism by which iron enacts, underlining key points related to treatment options. Resumo: As interações do ferro com o sistema cardiovascular foram propostas há cerca de meio século; falta ainda, no entanto, uma perceção clara sobre esse micronutriente e sobre as suas complexidades nos eventos agudos e crónicos. Na insuficiência cardíaca crónica os doentes com diminuição das reservas de ferro parecem beneficiar da administração intravenosa de formulações metálicas, enquanto as patologias agudas (por exemplo, enfarte do miocárdio, AVC) são pouco estudadas em ensaios controlados aleatorizados em humanos. No entanto, estudos de prova de conceito indicaram que a dupla característica redox do ferro poderia estar implicada na inaterosclerose, necrose e ferroptose. Para tal, procurámos rever o atual conjunto de literatura disponível sobre estes perfis temporais de doenças cardíacas, bem como o mecanismo fisiopatológico pelo qual o ferro exerce os seus efeitos, sublinhando pontos-chave relacionados com as opções de tratamento. |
