Show Notes

Today, Dr. James Fang, Chief of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Utah, and AHA/ACC/HFSA Heart Failure Guideline Committee Member, joins us to talk about the new heart failure guidelines, published in April 2022.  We talk about the new classifications, including HF with improved EF and HF with mildly reduced EF, and new recommendations for medical therapy for all the heart failure types. How do you start someone on GDMT? Who should get SGLT-2 inhibitors? How can we get more people on ARNIs? Dr. Fang provides lots of clinical pearls and practical wisdom for applying these new recommendations. Check it out!
