Description:<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/u>Heart failure is a common, disabling and deadly disorder and is thought to be one of the most costly cardiac disorders in terms of annual hospitalization costs and morbidity, despite the tremendous benefit that guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) has offered. The dramatic deterioration in quality of life and prognosis when a patient progresses from asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction to overt heart failure is a major challenge for physicians and nurses. This one day workshop focuses on the recent and more comprehensive nursing and medical interventions that are improving outcomes and quality of life for the heart failure patient.<\/p>\n
