Overview
Radcliffe Medical Education bring together a globally-renowned faculty, including Dr Gianluigi Savarese (Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, SE), Dr Stephen Greene (Duke University School of Medicine, North Carolina, US) and Prof Mark Petrie (University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK) for a programme centred around the implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in heart failure (HF).
During this session, presented, and recorded, at HFA 2023 in Prague, the panel discuss key aspects related to GDMT in heart failure including the importance of promptly initiating GDMT in heart failure patients and the challenges and barriers that exist in implementing GDMT in clinical practice. Further, they provide insights into effective strategies and approaches for overcoming barriers to GDMT initiation.
The programme also features short interactive video presentations and polls to provide you with practical knowledge and tools to implement GDMT effectively in your clinical practice.
Support Statement
This satellite symposium is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from AstraZeneca who had no involvement in the creation of the content.
Target Audience
- Cardiologists
- Heart Failure Specialists
- Primary Care Physicians
- Nurses, Pharmacists, and other Allied Healthcare Professionals
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Appraise the urgency needed in rapid initiation of GDMT to improve HF outcomes.
- Recognise barriers preventing the use of GDMT in current practice.
- Identify strategies needed to drive implementation of GDMT in clinical practice.
