Overview

In this on-demand version of the live roundtable, cardiologists Dr Shelley Zieroth (University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, CA) and Dr Aaron Wong (Princess of Wales Hospital, Wales, UK) join nephrologists Dr Andrew Frankel (Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, London, UK), and Dr Manish Sood (University of Ottawa, CA) to discuss the nuanced landscape of RAASi management in cardiorenal patients.

 

In this discussion, our expert faculty consider approaches to optimal RAASi dosing and strategies to improve patient outcomes. The programme integrates data-driven insights, established guidelines, and expert consensus, offering participants a holistic understanding of RAASi management.

 

A case study highlights how to overcome barriers to optimal guideline-directed medical therapy and panel discussion will bridge theory and real-world application, providing you with actionable tools to implement optimal practices in your daily clinical pursuits.

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