Brief summary
Non-commercial, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1) using a secure, central, interactive, web-based response system, to intervention FCM or placebo arm. Time of observation: minimum of 8 months up to a maximum of 36 months. Primary Study Objective: Primary: Evaluation of the effect of i.v. FCM treatment compared with placebo on the risk of death, the risk of heart failure events (HFE\*) (number of events and time to first event), NTproBNP concentration and the change in quality of life (QoL) assessed using EQ-5D during the follow-up up to 36-months in patients with recent AMI and ID (with an implementation of a win ratio approach in a hierarchical descending order). \*HFE: unplanned hospitalization for HF (including unplanned visit at emergency department due to HF), ambulatory significant intensification of diuretic therapy (either starting i.v. loop diuretic or more than doubling oral loop diuretic dose or de novo initiation of oral loop diuretic therapy due to HF signs/symptoms).
Interventions
DRUGFerinject
The first dose of either FCM will be administered during the first visit on the day of randomisation (V1). Then, the participants will be reassessed at 4, 8, 12, 18, 24 and 30 months (visits V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7). If safety criteria are not fulfilled, a patient in the active study arm will receive i.v. NaCl 0.9% during the particular visit.
The first dose of placebo will be administered during the first visit on the day of randomisation (V1). Then, the participants will be reassessed at 4, 8, 12, 18, 24 and 30 months (visits V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7).

Masking description
A drip will be prepared by unblinded personnel using masked bottle, light brown lines for infusion, and administered immediately after preparation using a special curtain (screen).
