Medical University of South Carolina Charleston HFpEF Conference 2024

Advanced Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) Conference

Introduction

The Medical University of South Carolina Charleston HFpEF Conference 2024 is a specialized educational conference dedicated to the rapidly evolving field of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF).

As HFpEF continues to become more prevalent than heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), clinicians face growing challenges related to diagnosis, phenotyping, hemodynamic assessment, and therapeutic management. This conference provides an advanced review of the latest evidence, emerging therapies, and practical clinical strategies for improving outcomes in patients with HFpEF.

Hosted by Medical University of South Carolina, the program brings together nationally recognized heart failure experts, cardiologists, internists, advanced practice providers, pharmacists, and multidisciplinary cardiovascular teams.

The conference emphasizes:

• HFpEF diagnosis and phenotyping
• Diastolic dysfunction mechanisms
• Advanced heart failure management
• Weight management strategies
• Diuretic optimization
• Sodium and fluid restriction
• Shared decision-making
• Post-hospital heart failure clinic design
• Novel and emerging HFpEF therapies

Participants gain practical, evidence-based approaches for diagnosing and managing this increasingly complex cardiovascular syndrome.
