Heart Failure Management for NP, PA, and Primary Care Providers 2019
This course delivers a comprehensive review of the diagnosis and management of heart failure across its multiple stages. Heart failure is a prevalent and costly disease causing debilitating symptoms and excess mortality. While cardiac subspecialists provide essential testing and treatment at various stages of heart failure care, the majority of patient management is handled by primary care providers. A clinical format will highlight the practice dilemmas and key management strategies essential to enhance the attendees’ confidence in caring for these challenging patients.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Recognize the spectrum of signs and symptoms suspicious for heart failure
• Describe typical diagnostic testing essential for the diagnosis and management of
patients with heart failure
• Apply appropriate pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic strategies for patients across
the spectrum of heart failure
• Describe when referral for advanced heart failure therapies is indicated
• Demonstrate complex decision-making when renal and/or pulmonary hypertension
co-exist with heart failure
