Overview

Dr Anjay Rastogi (David Geffen School of Medicine UCLA, US) and Dr Clara Bonanad (University Clinical Hospital of Valencia, ES) discuss the evolving management strategies of hyperkalaemia in heart failure and chronic kidney disease, in this short video series. In this three part discussion they cover the most recent guidelines from ACC, ESC and KDIGO, real-world evidence from the recent ZORA trial and the use of novel potassium binders in optimising guideline directed medical therapy. 

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

Key Learning Objectives

  • Recall current guidance and consensus for management of hyperkalaemia
  • Gain insight into the real-world use of novel potassium binders in hyperkalaemia
  • Identify common barriers to optimal RAASi blockade and adoption of evidence-based novel potassium binders

Target Audience

  • Cardiologists
  • Heart Failure Specialists
  • Nephrologists
  • Primary Care Physicians
