With the recent publications of landmark trials in managing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), it is now important to learn about the latest pharmacological and non-pharmacological management strategies in this complex group of patients.

This webinar is an in-depth overview of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), exploring the latest clinical trial data and guidance in managing this complex patient cohort. Join us for this meeting to prepare participants for routine clinical outpatient management of HFpEF patients as consultant cardiologists. Presentations will be delivered by clinical experts from diagnosis and investigation to management. This webinar will also explore the management of HFpEF with co-existing conditions including atrial fibrillation and obesity.

By attending this webinar, you will learn:

  • Define HFpEF and understand the difficulties surrounding the diagnosis
  • Develop knowledge of the differential diagnoses that may present as HFpEF and how to investigate them
  • Understand the pharmacological and non-pharmacological management strategies surrounding HFpEF and the latest clinical trial data

This webinar is available for on-demand viewing. The webinar recording will be available for registered delegates up to 60 days after the live webinar broadcast via Zoom. The link will be sent 24 hours after the webinar takes place.
