Significant advances in the diagnosis and management of heart failure and arrhythmias continue to emerge, compelling the practice of cardiology to constantly evolve. These advances must be consistently implemented into clinical practice to guarantee the best care for patients affected by these cardiovascular conditions. The Clinical Advances in Heart Failure, Arrhythmias, and Cardiogenic Shock Symposium is designed to assist clinicians in correctly diagnosing, treating, and managing patients with arrhythmias and heart failure. In addition, the symposium will outline optimal strategies for managing cardiogenic shock as well as new and emerging techniques for diagnosing and treating various cardiomyopathies. The symposium is dedicated to providing insight and practical tips with regard to integrating scientific evidence into clinical practice. The goal of the conference is for participants to return to their facilities equipped with the latest evidence base and strategies to improve patient outcomes.

After attending this live activity, participants should be able to:

• Incorporate current and emerging clinical evidence in the assessment, treatment, and management of patients with challenging cardiovascular disease.
• Identify guideline-recommended treatment algorithms for heart failure.
• Compare pharmacological and device therapies for cardiogenic shock.
• Identify racial and gender disparities in cardiac device selection.
• Evaluate current and emerging treatment options for cardiac amyloidosis.
• Discuss diagnosis and treatment considerations for patients with cardiac sarcoidosis.
• Assess device-based therapies for heart rhythm disorders.
• Employ new interdisciplinary care team strategies to enhance the prevention, diagnosis, and management of various types of heart disease.
