High iron levels in your heart result in irregular heart rhythms, which is known as arrhythmia, and cardiac hemochromatosis—a leading cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
Excess iron also disturbs your heart’s ability to circulate blood and, when left untreated, causes heart enlargement and congestive heart failure (CHF) which is a chronic condition that affects the heart muscles’ pumping power.
Such symptoms require immediate medical attention as heart problems caused by iron poisoning can easily be preventable when treated on time.
