Heart Failure Management in a Changing Paradigm

Overview

For this unique broadcast, Radcliffe Medical Education bring together a globally-renowned European and American faculty to participate in a roundtable discussion. Radcliffe’s roundtable discussions provide reflection on recently published data and examine what future developments can be expected at forthcoming events, through 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.

This programme is supported by an educational grant from the Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly Alliance

Learning Objectives

Recall the utility of EF in heart failure treatment, patient selection and treatment response
Identify alternative measures to EF for the purposes HF severity and therapeutic efficacy
Incorporate quality of life measures for assessing therapeutic efficacy in HF
Recall outcomes from heart failure trials from recent congress and publications and their impact on practice

Series overview

Part 1

Ejection Fraction in Context

This session considers the role of EF. Dr Zieroth will recap on historical use of EF and look at its limitations, prognostic information and therapeutic response. Finally, in her presentation, Dr Zieroth will run through trial design and exclusion of certain populations and elaborate what is the relevance of EF in today’s treatment paradigm.
