Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Although, correction of iron deficiency and/or anemia in heart failure (HF) with iron seems promising, little is known about myocardial iron load and homeostasis. Moreover iron supplementation indications are solely based on iron serum markers. The purpose was to assess myocardial iron (M-Iron), ferritin (M-FR), transferrin receptor (M-sTfR) in HF in relation to serum Iron markers. Study group 33 patients, left/right ventricle (LV/RV) (LVEDV 245 ± 84 ml; LVESV 189 ± 85 ml; LVEF 22 ± 11%; RVD 32 ± 10 mm), NTproBNP (5464 ± 4825 pg/ml). Iron homeostasis assessment serum: iron, FR, transferrin/saturation (TSAT), sTfR; myocardial: M-Iron (Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis, μg/g), M-FR, M-sTfR (ELISA – ng/mg protein) in the explanted failing hearts (FH), compared to non-failing hearts (NFH n = 11). In FH as compared to NFH, M-Iron was reduced in RV (174 ± 45 vs 233 ± 97, respectively, p = 0.07), LV (189 ± 58 vs 265 ± 119, p = 0.04), without significant changes in M-FR/M-sTfR. Out of all serum iron markers only sTfR was negatively correlated with M-Iron in either ventricle (RV r = − 0.44, p = 0.03, LV r = − 0.38, p = 0.07). With regard to serum iron status, based on TSAT, patients were divided into two subgroups: reduced (TSAT < 15%; n = 11) and not-reduced serum iron (TSAT ≥ 15%; n = 22). Both subgroups had similar grade of LV/RV dysfunction, NT-proBNP levels. M-FR was lower in TSAT < 15% than in TSAT ≥ 15% (LV − 31 ± 26 vs 46 ± 29; p = 0.07) and (RV –24 ± 24 vs 43 ± 29; p = 0.02), without differences in M-Iron and M-sTfR. In HF, M-Iron levels were reduced. Serum iron markers did not reflect M-Iron levels, except for serum sTfR. In reduced serum iron group, decrease in myocardial storage protein M-FR was observed.
