Overview: Although heart failure contributes to millions of hospitalizations in the United States each year that significantly impact patient prognosis, treatment is often focused on managing symptoms rather than on optimizing therapy.1,2 In this episode, featuring cardiologist Dr Javed Butler of the University of Mississippi, we will discuss best practices for navigating a heart failure hospitalization, including assessment of the patient’s clinical trajectory and optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy.

Faculty: Javed Butler, MD, MPH, MBA

Overview: The clinical course of heart failure is punctuated by multiple episodes of hospitalization,1-3 leading to poor outcomes and high and escalating costs.4,5 This highlights the need to reimagine how heart failure care is delivered. In this episode, featuring Dr Nihar Desai of the Yale School of Medicine, we will explore the interplay between implementing quality improvement initiatives, specifically value-based care models, and optimizing heart failure care.

Faculty: Nihar R. Desai, MD, MPH

Overview: The clinical course of heart failure is progressive and often involves periods of disease worsening that can be challenging to identify for both patients and their health care providers.1-4 In this episode, featuring cardiologist Dr Lee Goldberg of the University of Pennsylvania, we will discuss key aspects of the clinical assessment of heart failure worsening and progression in the outpatient setting and emphasize the importance of optimizing guideline-directed medical therapy in patients with worsening heart failure as well as in those with stable disease.  

Faculty: John J. Ryan, MD, MB, BCh, BAO, MRCPI, FACC, FAHA 

Overview: Although heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is common and increasing in prevalence, persistent misconceptions, including a perceived lack of therapeutic options, limit its effective management.1,2 In this episode, featuring cardiologist Dr. John Ryan of the University of Utah, we will counteract these misconceptions through exploration of various HFpEF patient profiles, covering key aspects of HFpEF diagnosis and optimal management in inpatient and outpatient settings.
