HFSA 23rd Annual Scientific Meeting
SESSION 30 - Clinical Conundrums: Pharmacotherapy for HFrEF: Case-Based Debates
Sep 15, 2019 3:15pm - Sep 15, 2019 4:45pm
Session Description
This session illustrates common clinical conundrums during the longitudinal medical treatment of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Three cases will be presented to a multidisciplinary panel of heart failure management and pharmacist experts to debate appropriate management strategies.
Learning Objectives
As a result of this educational session, the learner will be able to:
- Construct drug therapy regimens for patients with HFrEF and recuperated left ventricle function.
- Devise management strategies for patients who develop hypotension during titration of guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) for HFrEF.
- Discuss therapeutic options for patients who develop hyperkalemia or worsening renal function during GDMT initiation for HFrEF.
