Overview
NPs in primary care must recognize and help implement strategies to prevent the decline of heart function in at-risk patients, recognized HF for those who present with symptoms, initiate guideline-directed medical treatment and aid patients who may not be adherent to recommended treatments.
Objectives
- Describe signs, symptoms, and testing recommendations to establish a heart failure (HF) diagnosis in the primary care setting.
- Apply the latest heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) treatment recommendations to initiate guideline-directed medical therapy in an outpatient with a new HF Stage C diagnosis who does not require hospitalization.
- Apply current heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) guideline recommended strategies to modify guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in the outpatient setting to achieve target doses.
- Apply strategies to improve patient engagement, access to newer medications, and adherence to HFrEF GDMT.
