Advances in HFrEF: Slowing a Poor Hospital Prognosis, Part 2 - Evidence-Based Management Podcast

Featuring James L. Januzzi Jr., MD, FACC, FESC as faculty, moderated by Alanna Morris, MD, MSc, FHFSA, FACC, FAHA.

Summary

In this 2-part educational podcast series, Dr. James Januzzi and Dr. Alanna Morris discuss new therapies and treatment strategies for management of patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In part 2, the faculty review new developments in the management of and guideline-directed medical therapy for patients with HFrEF.

Heart failure (HF) accounts for around one million hospitalizations in the United States every year, and approximately 50% of these are caused by HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Optimal care for patients with HFrEF continues to be refined with the recent advancements in drug and device therapies that can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular (CV) death or hospitalization and improve the prognosis of patients with HFrEF. Clinicians need updated information regarding these recent advancements, when and how to use them, and recommendations for adhering to guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) for HF.

This podcast was recorded and is being used with the permission of the presenters.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, learners should be able to:

• Apply evidence-based GDMT when treating patients with chronic heart failure, including up-titration of medications to meet recommended target levels
• Identify patient populations with symptomatic, chronic HFrEF who would benefit from newer agents, based on safety and efficacy data and individual patient characteristics
