Identify gaps in knowledge about advanced heart failureand transplant cardiology2. Focus study efforts on filling identified knowledge gaps3. Practice for the certification examination with ABIM-stylemultiple-choice test questionsFor Clinical Practice:1. Describe the epidemiology of heart failure, includingenvironmental factors, and implement strategies for theprevention of heart failure2. Describe the pathophysiology of heart failure, includingnormal physiology and compensatory and maladaptivemechanisms3. Assess and follow the patient with acute or advancedheart failure, using non-invasive and invasive tests andbiomarkers.4. Implement guideline-based therapy for patients withchronic heart failure, including pharmacologic agents;non-pharmacologic options, such as diet and exercise;and implantable devices5. Implement appropriate care strategies for patientsundergoing chemotherapy or with pulmonary hypertension,heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, or cardiorenalsyndrome.The Heart Failure Society of America designates this liveactivity for a maximum of 17 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate withthe extent of their participation in the activity.6. Manage comorbidities in patients with chronic heartfailure, including sleep disordered breathing, anemia,and depressionSuccessful completion of this CME activity, which includesparticipation in the evaluation component, enables theparticipant to earn up to 17 MOC points in the Maintenance ofCertification (MOC) program. It is the CME activity provider’sresponsibility to submit participant completion information toACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.7. Implement strategies for effective disease managementof the patient with advanced heart failure, includingpalliative care and transition to outpatient care8. Provide peri-operative management of heart failurepatients undergoing cardiac transplantation orimplantation of a mechanical circulatory deviceConcise presentations by national experts will focus onblueprint content and will be augmented by board-reviewtype questions posed using an audience-response system.PG 3www.hfsa.org
