Summary

This session highlights innovative device-based therapies for refractory heart failure, emphasizing the integration of neuromodulation, decongestive strategies, and the synergy with pharmacological treatments. Case presentations illustrate the evolving landscape of advanced heart failure management.

Learning Objectives

  • To recognise heart failure refractory to medical therapy that requires treatment escalation 
  • To appraise innovative future options of cardiovascular interventions 
  • To understand how optimal synergy between oral therapy and interventions can be further improved

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Unmasking residual risk and unmet pathophysiology - The gap for device therapy
  • Case 1 - Patient with advanced heart failure undergoing deviced based neuromodulation
  • Case 2 - Heart failure patients with repeated hospitalisation for congestion, chronic kidney disease/ cardio-renal syndrome
  • Targeting preload - Decongestive strategies with drugs and devices in and beyond the hospital
