Overview

This CME accredited roundtable is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to identify high-risk patients indicative of worsening HF and to implement effective management strategies. Join Dr Javed Butler (Baylor Scott & White Health, Dallas, US); Dr Shelley Zieroth (University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, CA) and Prof Gianluigi Savarese (Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, SE) as they go through a comprehensive exploration of validated assessment tools, prognostic evaluations and emerging treatments. 

 

Case Studies

Follow the links below and watch the case studies recorded by Prof Gianluigi Savarese and Dr Javed Butler. Don't forget to submit how you would treat each patient. The faculty will discuss the results during the live roundtable.

Case 1: Worsening Heart Failure – Inpatient Setting
Case 2: Worsening Heart Failure – Outpatient Setting
Case 3: Worsening Heart Failure - Post-Discharge
