6 SYMPOSIUM OVERVIEW/INTENDED AUDIENCE The Cardiovascular Institute at Allegheny General Hospital is pleased to offer this exciting educational opportunity highlighting innovations in heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. This course will provide a review of the latest innovations in the management of heart failure including novel medical and surgical treatments, and new insights into the pathogenesis and treatment strategies for pulmonary hypertension patients. It is intended for cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, internists, pulmonologists, critical care specialists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, cardiovascular nurses, pharmacists and other health care professionals who have direct responsibility for, or interest in, advanced cardiovascular patient care. STATEMENT OF NEED Both heart failure and pulmonary hypertension remain a tremendous burden on society with a very high morbidity and mortality. Heart failure is the leading cause of cardiovascular death and the number one cause of hospitalization in the United States. Pulmonary hypertension often co-exists with heart failure and worsens morbidity and mortality. Several large clinical trials conducted over the past two decades have shown that pharmacologic interventions, surgery, and device-therapy can dramatically reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with both heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Based on evidence, new clinical practice guidelines have been developed for medical and surgical management of these patients. Despite these evidence based guidelines, it has been shown that providers do not consistently follow recommendations in clinical practice. Unfortunately this often results in patients being referred late in the disease for advanced therapies, often without receiving a complete diagnostic workup, and sometimes on inappropriate treatments. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES At the conclusion of the conference, participants should have the ability to: improve compliance with evidence-based guidelines for the medical management of heart failure explore mechanisms and processes that can impact patient outcomes such as readmission rates apply published guidelines of medical and surgical management to unique clinical cases of heart failure and pulmonary hypertension patients determine appropriate timing for device-based therapies and advanced therapies for heart failure and pulmonary hypertension patients apply knowledge of state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment modalities in the clinical spectrum of heart failure and pulmonary hypertension INTENDED OUTCOME We want to positively impact patient care in Western Pennsylvania by providing up-to-date information to all healthcare professionals caring for patients with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension.
