Evidence-Based Approaches to the Management of Heart Failure : Reducing Hospitalization and Improving Patient Outcomes
WebcastFaculty
OVERVIEW
Evidence-Based Approaches to the Management of Heart Failure : Reducing Hospitalization and Improving Patient Outcomes is organized by Pri-Med and will be held during Dec 12, 2016 - Dec 12, 2017.
The target audience for this medical event is Cardiologists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 1.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Overview :
The educational program is specifically designed to improve the competence and performance of cardiologists in how they address the growing caseload of patients with heart failure (HF). Specifically, the program will address evidence-based strategies to minimize hospitalization in this patient population. The expert faculty will briefly guide you through the fundamentals of HF including pathophysiology, staging, and appropriate assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction to determine the most appropriate treatment approach that is based on current management guidelines. Finally, the activity will provide practical approaches to utilizing traditional and novel therapeutic options to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life.
Learning Objectives :
• Optimize treatment for patients with acute and chronic presentations of heart failure based on an understanding of underlying pathology, disease stage, comorbidities, and other clinical factors in order to reduce morbidity, mortality, and hospital admissions
• Include assessment of LVEF function in determining individual HF treatment plans, in accordance with current management guidelines
• Select therapeutic options based on a sound understanding of current studies of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), vasodilators, and new agents such as angiotensin-neprilysin inhibitor and /f channel inhibitors
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
