Exploring the Essential Features of “Management of Heart Failure in the Older Population – Mary Ann Rosa”
Heart failure prevalence increases in older adults. Heart failure is also a leading cause of hospital readmissions. Following evidence based clinical practice guidelines can help improve outcomes in older patients with HF and complex co-morbidities. This session will guide you through identifying heart failure and congestive heart failure, optimizing medical treatment, and initiating nonpharmacological treatment. Interdisciplinary team management along with motivational interviewing will also be a focus to deliver patient-centered care
