Description:
Worsening heart failure (WHF) is associated with substantially increased risk of death, with current data showing a 50% rehospitalization rate within 1 month. Developed in collaboration with leading WHF experts, this monograph and accompanying study questions will guide learners through the updated 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA guidelines and latest clinical evidence for treating worsening heart failure.
This CME-accredited monograph will cover:
• Updated HF guideline classifications
• Strategies to implement and optimize guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT)
• Signs and symptoms of WHF to increase recognition of disease progression
• Latest clinical data for differentiating WHF treatments
• This activity is delivered in partnership with The American Society for Preventive Cardiology.
Agenda:
• Overview Heart Failure Classification and Trajectories
• Pillars of Treatment for HFrEF Stages C and D
• Guideline-Recommended Practices to Monitor Worsening HF
• Latest Clinical Evidence for Treating Worsening HF
• Clinical Strategies for Therapy Escalation
Learning Objectives:
• Describe the natural disease progression and epidemiology of worsening HF
• Detail the guideline classifications for HF based on clinical symptoms and LVEF
• Evaluate new and ongoing clinical data related to current and emerging therapies for HF, including functional status and quality of life
• Differentiate new and emerging therapies for HF based on mechanism of action, safety and efficacy data
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
