AJMC Post Conference Perspectives: ESC Congress 2024: Updates in Managing Heart Failure
Javed Butler, MD, MPH, MBA, discusses The American Journal of Managed Care® Post Conference Perspectives from European Society of Cardiology Congress 2024 in London, United Kingdom, focusing on key updates in heart failure management, including the implications of the FINEARTS-HF trial findings on finerenone, the role of β-blockers and dapagliflozin, and the need to address unmet needs in treatment strategies for patients with mildly reduced and preserved ejection fractions.
Episodes
September 24th 2024EP. 1: Overview of FINEARTS-HF Trial
Javed Butler, MD, MPH, MBA, discusses the FINEARTS-HF trial presented at European Society of Cardiology Congress 2024, highlighting its objective to evaluate finerenone in patients with heart failure (HF) with midrange ejection fraction (EF) and HF with preserved EF, the randomized design, and results indicating a reduction in worsening HF events compared with placebo.
September 24th 2024EP. 2: Role of MRAs in HFmrEF and HFpEF
Javed Butler, MD, MPH, MBA, discusses the current mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) used for heart failure (HF) with midrange ejection fraction (EF) and HF with preserved EF, emphasizing the role of nonsteroidal MRAs such as finerenone, and explore how the FINEARTS-HF results could translate into real-world benefits and inform the clinical pathway for these patients.
October 1st 2024EP. 3: Overview of BB Use and Outcomes in HFmrEF and HFpEF
Javed Butler, MD, MPH, MBA, discusses the data from European Society of Cardiology Congress 2024 on β-blocker use in patients with heart failure (HF) with midrange ejection fraction (EF) and HF with preserved EF, focusing on the study’s objective, design, and methodology as well as key results and takeaways regarding the role of β-blockers in the multimodal management of these HF types.
October 1st 2024EP. 4: Multi-Modal Treatment Strategy for HFmrEF and HFpEF
Javed Butler, MD, MPH, MBA, discusses the additional benefits of combining finerenone with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors for treating heart failure (HF) with midrange ejection fraction (EF) and HF with preserved EF as well as how a multimodal approach used in HF with reduced EF can be adapted for managing these conditions.
October 8th 2024EP. 5: Unmet Needs in the HFmrEF and HFpEF Landscape
Javed Butler, MD, MPH, MBA, discusses the DAPA ECHO trial data presented at European Society of Cardiology Congress 2024, examining the effects of dapagliflozin on myocardial performance in patients with nondiabetic heart failure, including the study’s objective, design, methodology, results, and key clinical implications for the use of dapagliflozin in this population.
October 8th 2024EP. 6: Overview of DAPA ECHO Trial
Javed Butler, MD, MPH, MBA, discusses the DAPA ECHO trial data presented at European Society of Cardiology Congress 2024, examining the effects of dapagliflozin on myocardial performance in patients with nondiabetic heart failure, including the study’s objective, design, methodology, results, and key clinical implications for the use of dapagliflozin in this population.
