KNOWLEDGE GAPS
There are now more patients who have Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) than those with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF). Making the diagnosis of HFpEF is more challenging than HFrEF as many commonly used screening tools such as physical
examination, echocardiography and measurement of natriuretic peptide levels are less sensitive and specifc in this population. Most importantly, no therapies have yet been shown to improve major cardiovascular outcome (i.e. reductions in hospitalization rates or lower
mortality). Several ongoing studies are evaluating novel treatments for this disorder.
CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES
At the completion of this conference, participants should be able to:
1. Review the latest evidence on the optimal choices of diuretics in heart failure.
2. Discuss new approaches to giving advice about sodium and fuid restriction in patients with heart failure.
3. Efectively prescribe medications for weight management in patients with HFpEF
4. Engage in shared decision making with your patients about the value of newer treatments
5. Discuss the mechanisms of diastolic dysfunction in patients with HFpEF
6. Design and implement a HF clinic for follow up of recently hospitalized HF patients
