A practical roadmap for starting combination therapy in HFmrEF/HFpEF 🗺️ Day 1 — initiate ALL of: • SGLTi → 20% RRR for CV death/HF hosp • nsMRA → 16% RRR for CV death/worsening HF • GLP-1RA (if obese) → 38% RRR • ARNI (if EF <55-60%) • β-Blocker (if EF 41-49%, sinus rhythm) Then titrate as tolerated over 16 weeks. Simultaneous initiation. Maximal early benefit. This is modern HFpEF care. 💪 #HeartFailure #HFpEF #HFmrEF #GDMT #Cardiology #SGLT2i #GLP1

🧵 Cardiorenal pharmacotherapy cheat-sheet — 5 drug classes, one visual. RAASi | ARNI | SGLT2i | ns-MRA | GLP-1 RA Key patterns worth knowing: • 4 of 5 reduce MACE or HFH • All 5 slow eGFR decline or cut albuminuria • Hyperkalemia risk: RAASi, ARNI, ns-MRA • SGLT2i → genital infections | GLP-1 RA → GI side effects Hemodynamics snapshot: ↓ eGFR on initiation is expected with most — don’t panic, it’s often renoprotective long-term. ARNI is the outlier: eGFR no change, but watch UACR. Save this. Share it. Your patients’ kidneys will thank you. 🫀🩺 #Cardiology #Nephrology #HeartFailure #CKD #SGLT2i #GLP1 #MedEd #CardioreналSyndrome

Priority Two for Heart Failure Care - Faster Diagnosis, because time lost is muscle lost. What needs to change: - Introduce rapid, standardised diagnostic pathways across all ICSs - Enable direct access to NT-proBNP and echo - Provide clear maximum timeframes (like cancer pathways) #HeartFailureAwarenessWeek #BEATHF Read more here 👇 buff.ly/TNVJXJb

During this Heart Failure week please visit our Heart Failure Academy website with plenty of resources aimed at generalists. Here is a sample of the webinars we delivered 👇 hfacademy.co.uk/library-of-hea… #HFAW #25in25 #BEATHF

Priority Three for Heart Failure Care - Access to specialists, because expertise matters. What needs to change: - Guaranteed access to a Heart Failure specialist team - Expansion of specialist nurse workforce - Integrated multidisciplinary team care (cardiology, primary care & community) #HeartFailureAwarenessWeek #BEATHF Read more here 👇 buff.ly/TNVJXJb

We want to highlight some of the priorities for Heart Failure care during this Heart Failure Awareness Week. The first priority is to improve recognition of Heart Failure and its symptoms with things like: - National symptom awareness (such as our BEAT HF campaign) - Mandatory Heart Failure education across primary care - Using clear, simple language that patients actually understand #BEATHF #HeartFailureAwarenessWeek Read more here 👇 buff.ly/TNVJXJb

This Heart Failure Awareness week join MDT colleagues at the Heart Failure Academy study days and develop your knowledge to identify and support people living with heart failure

This Heart Failure Awareness week commit to learning how we can improve recognition of the signs and symptoms of heart failure and ensure people with HF get the right treatment at the right time to live well. Register now for upcoming events at hfacademy.co.uk/events/

Heart failure awareness week 27th April to May 3rd ! If cancer were treated like heart failure there would be a national outcry ! Please help raise awareness we can make a difference and save lives ❤️

Join our multidisciplinary study days to increase your knowledge on heart failure, identify quality improvement opportunities and network with the region's heart failure specialists register to attend hfacademy.co.uk/events/
