Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is characterized by the overactivation of the neurohormonal axis. Initially this is an adaptive response but one that becomes maladaptive and results in salt and water retention and a cascade of deleterious consequences related to haemodynamic effects and fibrosis. This session will outline the management of HFrEF to include monitoring, preventative care, care coordination, education and support.
At the conclusion of this session, the participant should be able to:
- Increase utilization of Q-GDMT
- Describe new devices that may be on the horizon to treat ADHF
