Overview

In this short video series, recorded at ESC 2023 in Amsterdam, Prof Carolyn Lam (National Heart Centre Singapore, SG) and Prof Giuseppe Rosano (St George’s University Medical School of London, UK) discuss the latest heart failure guideline updates and what this means for clinical practice. 

 

Since the publication of the 2021 ESC Guidelines, several randomised controlled trials have provided further insight into optimal patient management. As such, this update of the guidelines – developed by the task force of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) with contributions from the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the ESC and released at ESC 2023 – aims to best support the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure.

 

This programme is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from AstraZeneca.

Key Learning Objectives

  • Recall the main recommendations set out in the ESC guideline update publication
  • Compare the guideline updates to existing full European and American guidelines
  • Identify which clinical data has informed specific updated recommendations
  • State the likely impact of guideline changes to heart failure patients
  • Implement guideline updates to daily practice

Target Audience

  • Cardiologists
  • Heart Failure Specialists
  • Primary Care Physicians
  • Nurses
  • Pharmacists
  • Other Allied HCPs

More from this programme

Part 1

Distilling the New ESC Guideline Update

In this first part, Prof Carolyn Lam and Prof Giuseppe Rosano discuss why there was a need for an update of the 2021 guidelines, and consider the changing landscape following EMPEROR-PRESERVED, DELIVER, STRONG-HF and IRONMAN.

Part 2

Assessing the Impact on Practice

In part two, the discussants consider the recommendations for SGLT2 inhibitor use for both heart failure with mildly-reduced ejection fraction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction to reduce cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalisation, and the expected impact on clinical practice.

Part 3

The Future of Heart Failure Management

In this final part, the physicians discuss the power of early detection in improving outcomes and stress the need for accessible and efficient diagnostic testing for the prevention of heart failure among high-risk patients.
