12m 29sPart 2 Current Trends in HF GDMT
Overview
This video series is dedicated to re-evaluating guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in patients with heart failure (HF).
Spilt into two short videos, in the first part Dr Gianluigi Savarese (Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, SE) and Dr Biykem Bozkurt (Baylor College of Medicine, Texas, US) discuss the most recent changes to clinical practice guidelines and consider the clinical trial evidence that is yet to be incorporated by guideline writing committees and what this may mean for future practice.
Following this, Dr Gianluigi Savarese (Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, SE) and Dr Orly Vardeny (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, US) discuss the current trends in the utilisation of GDMT in patients with HF including the implementation of new therapies and barriers to their initiation.
Key Learning Objectives
- Identify the updates captured in the ACC/AHA/HFSA 2022 guidelines with respect to foundational therapy choice and implementation approach in HF patients
- Recall the clinical outcomes from pivotal trials that were published after the ACC/AHA/HFSA 2022 guidelines
- Postulate how clinical practice may be impacted by recent clinical data
- Describe the current trend with the use of GDMT in HF patients
- Adopt newer drug classes as part of a guideline-directed approach to treat HF
Target Audience
- Cardiologists
- Heart Failure Specialists
- Primary Care Specialists
- Nurses
- Pharmacists
- Other Allied HCPs

Part 1
Accommodating New Evidence in HF Guidelines
In this video, Dr Savarese and Dr Bozkurt summarise the 2022 American guidelines new recommendations for pharmacological agents in HF and the evidence that was unavailable in the 2021 European guidelines. They also discuss the key clinical endpoints in the SGLT-2 inhibitors trials and how these agents will be applied in clinical practice.
Part 2
Current Trends in HF GDMT
In this video, Dr Savarese and Dr Vardeny discuss the recent guideline recommendations for four pillar GDMT and how well these are being utilised in clinical practice for patients with HF. They also discuss the barriers in utilisation of the newly recommended therapies and maintaining patients on GDMT after they have been initiated.

Orly Vardeny
Associate Professor of Medicine
Dr Orly Vardeny is Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. Her research interests include maximising the benefit of pharmacologic therapy in patients with heart failure and optimising vaccination strategies in patients with cardiac disorders. She has led several multi-center, randomized clinical trials evaluating influenza vaccines in patients with high-risk cardiovascular disease.
