Overview

To keep pace with the rapid growth in our understanding of heart failure and, most importantly, to better treat patients with this disease, the 31st Annual San Diego Heart Failure Summer Symposium will provide a comprehensive overview of emerging concepts of heart failure management and new approaches to therapy. The series of didactic presentations, case discussions and Q & A sessions are designed to efficiently deliver new information that will help provide better care to patients and offer expert advice of how to implement new advances into clinical practice.

For this year’s Symposium the program director has recruited a world-renowned faculty representing multiple disciplines as well as patient advocates who will provide an important perspective on the goals of therapy. As in the past, the Symposium will be presented in hybrid format. We encourage providers to attend the live presentations at the beautiful Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines where they can interact with their colleagues, speakers and industry representatives over the two-day Symposium. For those who can’t attend, on-line streaming of all sessions will be available. In addition, the Symposium will be available on-line for several weeks so that you will be able to return to lectures of interest or catch up on those that you missed.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Summarize current and emerging treatments available for preventing and treating heart failure and provide information to help in the selection of the most effective choices in individual patients.
• Review strategies for implementing medical and device therapies that will lead to improved outcomes in heart failure patients.
• Define how specific populations including minorities, women and the elderly respond to various approaches to treating risk factors and heart failure

Target Audience

The target audience for this activity includes cardiologists, internists, primary care physicians, nurses and allied healthcare professionals.
