Heart failure remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Recent guideline updates have introduced new stratifications of disease and provided recommendations for treatment. However, gaps in knowledge and variability in practice persists, underscoring the need to equip pharmacists with the tools to implement updated recommendations and optimize care for this complex patient population. This presentation will provide an in-depth review of the latest heart failure guidelines, specifically focusing on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) including diagnostic criteria and classifications, updated evidence-based recommendations and key differences in management strategies for HFpEF, HFimpEF and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Learning Objectives for Pharmacists & Nurses  |  At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

1. Recall differences between heart failure subtypes: heart failure with preserved (HFpEF), heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
2. Identify the updated recommendations in the heart failure guidelines for HFpEF and HFimpEF management.
3. Recognize updated guideline recommendations for individualized treatment plans for patients with HfrEF, HFpEF or HFimpEF.
