Summary

This session examines the integrated role of heart failure therapies in the peri- and post-procedural management of patients undergoing surgical and transcatheter valve interventions. It reviews current and emerging clinical trial data, discusses identifying high-risk patients, and explores advanced modalities such as cardiac resynchronization and circulatory support to improve clinical outcomes when medical therapy alone is insufficient.

Learning Objectives

  • To appreciate the synergistic role of heart failure therapies before and after surgical and transcatheter valve interventions
  • To learn more about recent and upcoming clinical trials that underpin current and future treatment strategies
  • To understand how to identify patients at high risk of peri- and post-procedural heart failure and instigate measures that will ensure best clinical outcomes

  • Optimal medical therapy before and after valve intervention: what are we really talking about?
  • Designing the future: what do we need from the next wave of clinical trials?
  • Cardiac resynchronisation and circulatory support: what do we do when medical therapy fails?
