General Meeting Information

The 2018 HFSA Annual Scientific Meeting provides a forum for the open exchange and discussion of research results and scientific advancements in the field of heart failure; however, HFSA makes no representation or warranty as to the truth, originality, or accuracy of the information presented. Nor are the views expressed by the individual speakers necessarily the view of HFSA. HFSA supports the ACCME’s policy on evidence-based content and requires faculty to adhere to these standards when preparing a presentation.

Intended Audience

HFSA’s Annual Scientific Meeting is intended for physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, scientists, and health care professionals who specialize or have an interest in heart failure.

Learning Objectives

Following this meeting, attendees will be able to:

1. Describe the epidemiology of HF and implement strategies for the prevention of HF.
2. Discuss the current scientific basis of HF from the perspectives of cardiovascular physiology, neurohormones, tissue factors, molecular biology, and genetics.
3. Identify the findings of basic science research and current clinical trials and describe their implications for current and future HF therapy.
4. Implement optimal guideline-based therapeutic options for HF, including pharmacologic agents, non-pharmacologic options, such as diet and exercise; and implantable devices.
5. Manage comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, depression, sleep apnea, and chemotherapy.
6. Demonstrate awareness of psychosocial, economic, regulatory, and ethical issues in the treatment of patients with HF.
