Key highlights from Heart Failure 2024 – Annual congress of the Heart Failure Association of the ESC

8 August 2024
Professor Paul Kalra summarises key findings presented at the 2024 Heart Failure Association ESC meeting in Lisbon. He discusses the new data on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, and challenges in diagnosis and treatment optimisation. He also explores the early benefits of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and evidence-based treatments for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Speakers

Learning objectives
  • Interpret new data surrounding the use of cardiac myosin inhibitors in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
  • Understand some of the issues surrounding timely diagnosis in patients with de novo heart failure.
  • Recognise guidelines and new data around intravenous iron (ferric carboxymaltose or ferric derisomaltose) to enhance quality of life and reduce hospitalisation in heart failure patients with reduced or mildly reduced ejection fraction.
  • Understand the prospect of potassium binders and their potential role in helping to maintain mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist use in patients with, or at high risk of, hyperkalaemia.
