Abstract. The article reviews the data on oral iron administration in patients with cardiovascular diseases accompanied by iron deficiency anemia. We analyzed studies from eLibrary, PubMed, Google Scholar and clinicaltrials.gov databases since 2015 till 2020 as well as Russian and international clinical guidelines. On the basis of this information we provide practical advice for doctors on when and how administer oral iron to patients with cardiovascular diseases and low level of hemoglobin in a real clinical practice.
