This webinar series, recorded at the ESC 2025 with key opinion leaders Dr David Berg (Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, US) and Dr Clara Saldarriaga (Cardio VID Clinic, Medellin, CO) presenting late-breaking data, explores the evolving evidence for in-hospital initiation of guideline-directed medical therapy after an acute heart failure event. Viewers will gain insight into the persistent risks following hospitalisation, the rationale behind timely intervention and the pivotal trial data shaping clinical practice. Through expert discussion, the programme highlights the implications for future care, practical strategies for implementation and key messages for improving outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- Recognise HF hospitalisation as a critical opportunity for optimising long-term outcomes
- Evaluate the evidence base and guideline recommendations supporting in-hospital GDMT initiation and rapid up-titration
- Interpret the design, results, and clinical implications of data emerging from clinical trial
- Apply practical strategies to initiate and titrate GDMT in hospitalised patients, including considerations for EF, diabetes status, renal function and haemodynamics
- Integrate new evidence into clinical decision-making to reduce delays, improve adherence and lower rehospitalisation and mortality
Target Audience
- Cardiologists
- Heart Failure Specialists
