• Age ≥18 years
• Clinical diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), defined as documented 2-dimensional echocardiography left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% before randomization
• Currently hospitalized for an episode of acute heart failure (AHF) where AHF was the primary reason for hospitalization, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II - IV.N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) ≥300 or brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) ≥100 pg/mL in sinus rhythm, or NT-proBNP≥600 or BNP ≥200 pg/mL in atrial fibrillation prior to randomization
• Reaching hemodynamic stability after standard treatment (if tolerated, initiate four pillars of guideline-directed medical therapies). All of the following (i.e., items a to c) must apply:; Systolic blood pressure≥100mmHg, without symptoms of hypotension; Stop using intravenous diuretics; Neither intravenous inotropic drugs or vasodilators were used (including nitrates)
• Subject is iron deficient defined as serum ferritin <100 ng/mL or 100 ng/mL ≤ serum ferritin ≤299 ng/mL if TSAT <20%
• Able and willing to provide informed consent and accomplish 6 minutes-walking test
