Overview
The overall goals of this program are to improve the community's knowledge about heart failure and understand all the different options for these patients. These include optimal medical therapy, temporary ventricular assist devices/extracorporeal life support to help bridge a patient to advanced therapies (heart transplant/durable mechanical support) or to recovery. This symposium should help to improve patient outcomes and options for the large number of patients in our community living with heart failure.
Objectives
- Describe the latest guideline updates in the treatment and management of heart failure (HF), including optimization of drug therapy, remote monitoring, the use of AI, and novel clinical interventions and clinical trials;
- Describe current approaches for the management of cardiogenic shock and the use of acute mechanical circulatory support devices in these patients;
- Highlight the importance of partnership with a quaternary cardiogenic shock team to facilitate rapid transfer of the patient in refractory cardiogenic shock;
- Describe the use of long term durable LVADs in patients with advanced heart failure, our minimally invasive surgical implant techniques and the UCSF shared care programs with community cardiologists and co-management of patients;
- Describe the latest innovations in heart transplant care, including novel approaches for organ acquisition, preservation, and procurement, dual organ transplantation, and expanded donor criteria leading to increased donor pool and decreased waiting times;
- Review management of pulmonary hypertension in advanced heart failure;
- Illustrate the burden of cardiac arrythmias in the care of the advanced heart failure patient and successful interventions and management with our electrophysiology partners;
- Discuss heart failure therapies in cardio-oncology, and review new era drugs and strategies for the management of cardiac amyloidosis;
- Discuss the comprehensive multidisciplinary care and services available to manage complex cardiac patients through the evolution of their disease pre and post advanced cardiac intervention, and UCSF’s commitment to linking with community physicians.
Accreditation
In support of improving patient care, the University of California, San Francisco is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
