Course Overview

 

Attendance is currently being verified. An email will be sent from the system once the verification has been completed and credit can be claimed.

This course will provide a comprehensive, state of the art update on the management of heart failure focusing on the recently updated ACC/AHA Heart Failure Management Guidelines. The course is divided into six threads each focusing on a unique aspect of heart failure management from medical and device therapies, recognition of unique etiologies of heart failure, management of cardiogenic shock and selection for advanced therapies including transplant and ventricular assist devices. Each thread will have one or more cases to illustrate diagnostic and therapeutic challenges followed by panel discussions and audience participation to make the material actionable in daily practice. Two keynote speakers, one each day, will provide a visionary overview of the days’ topics and provide valuable perspective from a thought leader. A unique aspect of this course will be a mock patient selection committee meeting for heart transplant and ventricular assist device to include a representative of each of the disciplines present during these life and death deliberations. This will be an opportunity to see, first hand, how patients are presented and which clinical and psychosocial aspects are considered in advanced therapy patient selection. The program includes a debate as well as a presentation from a patient who had a ventricular assist device and went on to have a heart transplant. The faculty will include heart failure cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, electrophysiologists, advanced practice providers, social workers, a patient and other members of the Heart Team.
