Medical Training AIHeart Failure Management Study Track
You will be able to classify heart failure phenotypes, sequence and titrate guideline-directed medical therapy, and identify when device or advanced therapy referral is appropriate.
What this track covers
This track covers heart failure across the ejection fraction spectrum, from diagnosis and staging through the four pillars of guideline-directed medical therapy. It also addresses device therapy selection and recognizing when a patient needs referral for advanced options like LVAD or transplant evaluation.
What you will practice
- Differentiate HFrEF, HFmrEF, and HFpEF using exam and imaging findings
- Sequence and titrate the four GDMT pillars in a new HFrEF diagnosis
- Recognize when hypotension or renal changes should pause versus delay titration
- Identify ICD and CRT candidacy based on standard guideline criteria
- Spot red flags that warrant advanced heart failure or transplant referral
Simulator scenario
A simulator case following a patient recently discharged after a first HFrEF diagnosis, requiring the clinician to sequence GDMT initiation across follow-up visits while managing a borderline blood pressure.
Board question topics
- HFrEF vs HFpEF vs HFmrEF classification
- GDMT initiation and titration sequencing
- ICD and CRT indication criteria
- Red flags prompting advanced HF referral
