The symptoms of iron deficiency anemia-related heart disease vary depending on the severity. Patients with mild anemic heart disease typically exhibit symptoms of anemia, such as weakness and blurred vision. In cases of moderate anemia with significantly worsened symptoms, cardiac discomfort may occur, including palpitations. When the body engages in light physical activity, compensatory myocardial contractility increases. In severe anemia, in addition to typical anemia symptoms, patients may also develop signs of cardiac dysfunction.
