Heart Failure Seminar: Focus on Devices
Navigating the HF Patient Journey: Devices and New Guidelines will feature a multidisciplinary panel of HF experts presenting a case-based program designed to provide the most current information on the timing, selection, and utilization of emerging, novel, and current devices for the management of heart failure.
The standards, competencies, and clinical data relating to the use of device therapy in heart failure (HF) continue to evolve rapidly. This creates challenges for practicing clinicians trying to stay up-to-date and provide optimum evidence-based care to their patients. The program will include information on recently published clinical trials and guidelines on device therapies for HF patients. Among the topics that will be discussed in this program are implantable cardiac defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy (biventricular pacing), monitoring devices, temporary and durable mechanical circulatory support, and devices that reduce heart failure hospitalizations.
This seminar is now available OnDemand for purchase in the HFSA Learning Center.
