Academic Half Day: Heart Failure

This week’s Academic Half Day is all about Heart Failure.

There are so many trials, so many drugs, so much to learn. This week, we will attempt to distill these trials and guidelines into clinical practice and review the basic management principles of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Check out the JAMA review paper published August 2020 for a comprehensive review of all treatments for HFrEF.
