Overview
During this unique broadcast, Radcliffe Medical Education brings together a globally-renowned European and American faculty to participate in a roundtable discussion. Radcliffe’s roundtable discussions are to provide both a reflection on the HF landscape following published data at congress and to examine what future developments can be expected at forthcoming events via lively discussion and data presentations.
Prof Andrew Coats (University of Warwick, UK) leads proceedings, and is joined by Dr Shelley Zieroth (University of Manitoba, CA), Dr Javed Butler (University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson, MS) and Dr Piotr Ponikowski (Wroclaw Medical University, Wroclaw, PL) for an insightful presentation and a discussion.

Terms & Conditions
Radcliffe Education requires contributors to our CME programmes to disclose any relevant financial relationships that have occurred within the past 12 months that could create a conflict of interest. These will be identified in the faculty section if applicable.
The session, ‘Heart Failure Management in a Changing Paradigm’ is accredited by the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology (EBAC) for 1 hour of external CME credits.
Each participant should claim only those hours of credit that have actually been spent in the educational activity. EBAC works according to the quality standards of the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME), which is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).
Through an agreement between the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EBAC External CME credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert EBAC credit to AMA credit can be found on the AMA website.
