Description
Heart failure is, without a doubt, one of the more complex topics that you will encounter in primary care. Two types, four stages, four classes, evolving guidelines for treatment, and a host of medications – it’s a lot to wrap your head around. Especially in a 15-minute visit. Let’s talk about the core concepts of heart failure and increase your confidence. We’ll cover:✅ The two types of heart failure, and how the different types impact the approach to treatment✅ Diagnostics – which labs, which tests, and the crucial role of ejection fraction in heart failure✅ The questions you don’t want to forget to ask the patient✅ Medications used to treat heart failure✅ What to look for in the chart BEFORE the first visitLike so many other things with primary care, managing heart failure gets less stressful with time. But until then, having a strategy will increase your efficiency in the visit, your confidence on the subject, and give you clarity about co-managing with cardiology.
