Spokesperson:
F. Praz
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
