Abstract This work is the second part of a review on the role of free iron forms in cardiovascular diseases. Here, we stress on various aspects related to the iron form that are free of poorly chelated to iron biocarriers, as for example the NTBI (Non Transferrin Bound Iron). We report on problems relating the determination of such free iron forms and, after all, on their implications in cardiac diseases as well as in venous insufficiency.
