COURSE
OVERVIEW
Heart Failure 2013 has been designed to continue a tradition of providing
a comprehensive, high level and clinically oriented update on prevention,
diagnosis and management of heart failure. The program is structured to
include lectures presented by experts in the field combined with interactive
panel discussions. This year we made an attempt to cover an extensive
list of topics including use of sympathetic denervation for treatment
of resistant hypertension, diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea, new
treatments for hyponatremia, introduction of relaxin, a new drug in the
management of acute decompensated heart failure, diuretics and ultrafiltration
for the management of volume overload, new concepts in the diagnosis and
management of diastolic heart failure, nitric oxide enhancing therapy
for chronic heart failure, new drugs for stroke prevention as well as
catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation, new guidelines
for the use of CRT and ICD in patients with heart failure and hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy, use of MRI in the diagnosis and prognosis of cardiomyopathies,
determination of myocardial viability in patients with coronary artery
disease and LV dysfunction and methods for effective prevention of rehospitalizations.
In addition the program will provide an update on cutting edge therapies
including the use of gene therapy, neuroregulin and stem cell therapy
in patients with heart failure.
As in past years the program was designed
to provide a high level and clinically oriented update with the goal of
improving the care of patients with heart failure. I hope that you will
join us for an exciting symposium.
