The Chicken or the Egg: The Reciprocal Relationship Between Sleep Apnea and Heart Failure

Jan 29, 2022 12:00pm ‐ Jan 29, 2022 12:30pm

Identification: D11

Learning Objectives:
  • The attendee should be able to explain the physiologic causes and differences between central and obstructive sleep apnea, as well as the prevalence of this disease process in HF patients, in order to appreciate the significance of each form as it applies to the etiology, management, and prognosis of HF in the clinical setting
  • The attendee should gain a basic understanding of available screening and treatments for central and obstructive sleep apnea, including novel technologies for each, allowing them to assess their patients’ risk, recommend appropriate screening, and inform them of potential treatment options in order to improve outcomes for the HF patient.

ICD and Pacemaker Terminology: What You Need to Know in the HF Clinic

Jan 29, 2022 12:00pm ‐ Jan 29, 2022 12:30pm

Identification: D12

Learning Objectives:
  • The attendee should be able to recall key device programming and reporting terms associated with the concepts of programming modes, rate response, delays, refractoriness and blanking, and use this knowledge to inform critical review of device interrogation reports in the clinic setting in order to immediately address factors which could negatively impact the HF patient or prompt referral to electrophysiology if appropriate
  • The attendee should be able to recall key device programming and reporting terms associated with both ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmia detection and treatment, and use this knowledge to inform critical review of device interrogation reports in the clinic setting in order to immediately address factors which could negatively impact the HF patient or prompt referral to electrophysiology if appropriate

Three Critical Findings on the Device Check That Can Save Your HF Patient

Jan 29, 2022 1:30pm ‐ Jan 29, 2022 2:00pm

Identification: D20

Learning Objectives:
  • The attendee should be able to explain the significance of key physiologic parameters beyond traditional HF measures, including heart rate histograms, pacing percentages, and arrhythmia telemetry and use these elements to critically assess the overall cardiac condition of the patient when reviewing a device interrogation in the clinic setting, to address factors which could negatively impact the HF patient
  • The attendee should be able to identify potential interventions that can be immediately addressed in the clinic setting, as well as those requiring referral to electrophysiology, in order to appropriately treat pathologic findings

CHF/EF Clinic Collaboration: Working Together to Optimize Care and Improve Outcomes for HF Patients

Jan 29, 2022 1:30pm ‐ Jan 29, 2022 2:00pm

Identification: D21

Learning Objectives:
  • At the end of this session, learners will be able to identify treatment strategies to improve co-morbid conditions that may worsen and accelerate HF decompensations.
  • At the end of this session, learners will be able to understand how to implement a program to improve collaboration between HF and EP to optimize outcomes for HF patients.

When to Consider Transcatheter Valve Therapies for Aortic and Mitral Valve Disease

Jan 29, 2022 1:30pm ‐ Jan 29, 2022 2:30pm

Identification: D22

Learning Objectives:
  • Understand the interplay between aortic and mitral valve disease and heart failure
  • Differentiate between primary and secondary mitral valve regurgitation and their different treatments and outcome
  • Recognize when to consider referral for transcatheter valve treatment of valve lesions - Discuss comparisons of outcome of transcatheter vs. surgical treatments
