2019 ISHLT Academy Core Competencies in Pediatric Heart Failure
2 April, 2019 7:55 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. EST
Orlando, FL, USA
This course is designed for pediatric cardiologists, early career professionals and advance practice nurses with an interest in pediatric heart failure. Each section is designed with focused, didactic lectures followed by an interactive Q&A. The course will start by covering general topics of pediatric heart failure – epidemiology, pathophysiology and etiology of pediatric heart failure. The course will then move to the diagnostic approach and medical management of pediatric heart failure, including a section on acute decompensated heart failure. The course will then cover the topics of a multi-disciplinary approach to heart failure as well as activity restrictions, precautions and the management of co-morbidities. Next, the timing and outcomes of advanced heart failure therapies will be discussed. The course will conclude with a discussion on unique patient populations (including heart failure in congenital heart disease) as well as future directions of heart failure therapies and research topics to progress the field of pediatric heart failure.
While all members are invited to enroll, this course is primarily designed to be of benefit for clinicians and allied health professionals who are in the early stages of their careers, or who are in training and/or are part of a new program, or desire an update on the current state of the field.
