Overview / Abstract: |
Many patients with heart failure (HF) do not receive foundational treatment although these therapies reduce morbidity and mortality risks. The initiation and optimization of guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) can be challenging, but clinical practice guidelines and algorithms are available to assist. Navigate through this interactive self-directed CME activity to apply the most recent clinical trial data and guidance to patient-specific factors seen in real-world practice. Expert perspectives and available evidence will help you implement GDMT in practice to improve patient quality of life, prevent rehospitalization, and reduce mortality risks in your patients with HF. |
