Overview
Moderated by Prof Andrew JS Coats, this broadcast explores how a complex heart failure patient would be treated by a multidisciplinary team. In this unique discussion, we examine how the broader heart failure team can work together effectively and consider best practices for referral and initiation of foundational medical therapy.
Learning Objectives
- Identify individuals likely to have HFpEF from initial presentation
- Refer suspected individuals for specialist assessment
- Initiate GDMT for HF as soon as patients are stable
- Initiate GDMT in HF regardless of EF and phenotype
- Initiate shared decision-making on complex HF patients with other members of the multidisciplinary team including cardiologists, GPs, nephrologists and diabetologists
Target Audience
- Cardiologists
- Heart Failure Specialists
- Primary Care Physicians
- Nurses
- Pharmacists
- HCPs

Part 3
Approaching the Patient
Here the faculty discuss their initial approach to this patient from the perspective of their different backgrounds and how they can most effectively manage this patient as a team.
Part 4
Diagnosing the Patient
The faculty discuss labelling the patient with a diagnosis, prioritising problems for management and ask who should start foundational therapy of SGLT-2 inhibitors.
Part 5
Managing the Patient
The faculty review poll results from the audience on approach to management, discuss their approach to initiating GDMT and explore overcoming a dip in renal function following SGLT-2 inhibition.
Part 6
Follow-up & Referral
The faculty now discuss the ongoing patient centred care required for this patient, continued investigation and holistic co-management.
Part 7
Responding to a Changing Patient
Here the faculty discuss how they would continue to manage the patient with foundational therapy as their symptoms, disease severity and comorbidities change over time. Further audience questions are answered, exploring trail data, initiation and real world use of SGLT-2 inhibitors.
