Hearts in Sonoma: UCSF Update on Heart Failure Therapies – 2025

Videos+PDFs

Overview

Heart failure affects approximately seven million Americans and is the most common diagnosis for acute hospitalization in patients over sixty-five years of age, with numbers increasing dramatically over the coming decades. UCSF Update on Heart Failure Therapies will feature up-to-date presentations on the evaluation and treatment of heart failure from initial diagnosis to advanced therapies. This conference will cover the success of guideline directed care, remote monitoring in the treatment and management of chronic heart failure, new approaches and innovations in the areas of cardiogenic shock, acute and long term mechanical circulatory support devices, heart transplantation, novel valvular heart disease therapeutics, genetic cardiomyopathies, cardiac amyloidosis and management of right heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. A comprehensive, advanced heart failure program can integrate treatment advances into a comprehensive patient-centered heart failure management program.

Target Audience
This course is designed for practicing internists, cardiologists, family practitioners, advanced practice providers, nurses, pharmacists, and all other healthcare professionals taking care of heart failure patients.

Objectives

  • Describe the latest guideline updates in the treatment and management of heart failure (HF), including optimization of drug therapy, remote monitoring, and novel clinical interventions and clinical trials;
  • Describe current approaches for the management of cardiogenic shock and the use of acute mechanical circulatory support devices in these patients.  Highlight the importance of partnership with a quaternary care center cardiogenic shock team to facilitate rapid transfer of the patient in refractory cardiogenic shock.
  • Describe the use of long-term durable LVADs in patients with advanced heart failure, our minimally invasive surgical implant techniques, and the UCSF shared care programs with community cardiologists and co-management of patients;
  • Describe the latest innovations in heart transplant care, including novel approaches for organ acquisition, preservation, and procurement, dual organ transplantation, and expanded donor criteria leading to increased donor pool and decreased waiting times;
  • Review management of pulmonary hypertension in advanced heart failure: challenges and successes;
  • Discuss therapies and review new era drugs and strategies for the management of cardiac amyloidosis;
  • Discuss the comprehensive multidisciplinary care and services available to manage complex cardiac patients through the evolution of their disease pre- and post advanced cardiac intervention, and UCSF’s commitment to linking with community physicians.
