Overview of New Heart Failure Recommendations
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
6:30 am Pathophysiology of Heart Failure, Including Insights Into the Mechanism of SGLT2 Inhibitors Clinical Review of Efficacy of SGLT2 Inhibitors in Heart Failure Clinical Review of Renoprotective Outcomes With SGLT2 Inhibitors
Heart failure medicine is dynamic, with recent approvals for use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, and updated recommendations for definition, staging, and classification of heart failure. As heart failure therapies overlap into other specialties, it is more important than ever to use a patient-centered, multidisciplinary care team model. In this 90-minute Call-a-Colleague presentation, 3 experts will discuss the new consensus recommendations for heart failure and the evidence for using SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with different classes of heart failure as well as comorbidities. To illustrate how to individualize treatment regimens and the nuances of heart failure care, they will call in specialist colleagues for consultations about practical considerations for prescribing SGLT2 inhibitors.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to: • Evaluate patients with heart failure based on new consensus recommendations for definition, staging, and classification • Discuss the clinical profiles, trial designs, and recent data for SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), including cardiovascular and renal outcomes • Incorporate SGLT2 inhibitors into treatment algorithms for heart failure to reflect appropriate patient selection, safety considerations, and prescribing recommendations • Individualize treatment regimens for patients with heart failure with consideration of case presentation, practice guidelines, newly published evidence, and comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD)
