Program Overview
Program Description
Heart failure (HF) is quite prevalent in the United States, and management is often complicated by the need to determine the patient's stage and functional classification, a complex set of guideline-directed therapies and dosing regimens, comorbid conditions, and patient adherence. In 2021, the American College of Cardiology updated its guidelines to address treatment options in HF—including information on treatment sequencing and the use of different drug classes in HF. In this activity, an expert in HF discusses how to apply this information in practice, with a focus on recognizing that patients and their caregivers frequently “adapt” to their HF regimens rather than simply adhering to them.
