Learning Objectives
Following this activity, participants will be better able to:
- Describe the epidemiology of HF and strategies for the prevention of HF.
- Discuss the current scientific understanding of HF from the perspectives of cardiovascular physiology, neurohormones, molecular biology, and genetics.
- Describe the findings of basic science research and recent clinical trials and describe their implications for current and future HF therapy. Implement guideline-based therapy for HF, including pharmacologic agents and non-pharmacologic options such as diet, exercise, and implantable devices.
- Manage comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, depression, sleep apnea, and obesity.
- Demonstrate awareness of psychosocial, economic, regulatory, and ethical issues in the treatment of patients with HF.
- Explain the patient, provider, and system-related factors that contribute to racial and ethnic health disparities.
- Implement strategies for effective management of the patient with HF, incorporating the family, encouraging self-care, and employing the team approach.
- Outline strategies for transitioning patients from inpatient to outpatient care and for reducing hospital readmissions.
- Engage in performance measurement and site-based research.
Specific learning objectives for each of the scientific sessions and are listed in the session description in the on-demand product.
