Course Overview
A variety of recent developments in the field of heart failure (HF) therapies, including novel drugs, new devices, and care innovations inform the current effort to improve HF education and refine approaches to disease management for clinicians. Physicians and other practitioners must be armed with the most up-to-date evidence to guide best treatments and improve the prognosis for patients with HF. Thus, it is critically important to raise awareness and improve knowledge about the symptoms, diagnosis, therapeutic options, and outcomes in HF. The symposium will address issues such as diagnosing and managing HFrEF & HFpEF, remote patient monitoring, cardiomyopathies, care transitions, interventional and device management, cardiometabolic care, advanced HF management, in addition to quality of life and patient preferences; our local and invited keynote speakers will incorporate case-based lectures, panel discussions and Q&A into the symposium to further address these critical issues.
