Mayo Clinic Heart Failure Review will provide an overview of all aspects of heart failure and transplantation. Expert faculty will provide in-depth didactics on state-of-the-art subjects in heart failure with preserved and reduced ejection fraction, causes and management of patient with HF, management of comorbidities, and evaluation and management of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.  In addition, updates on the latest knowledge and advances in mechanical circulatory devices and heart transplantation are also integrated into the course for the practicing cardiologist wishing to review and update. The full spectrum of heart failure practice will be reviewed ranging from basic evaluation and management and device-based treatments. This includes topics reviewing advanced heart failure and cardiac transplant and immunosuppression.

This comprehensive online course will give you 365 days of access to a personalized and adaptive online learning curriculum that will save study time, most importantly enable you to integrate the most current medical knowledge into your daily practice, and give you confidence to pass the exam.

Course Learning Objectives
Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

- Identify relevant features of national heart failure guidelines
- Discuss the clinical profile of heart failure and differentiate between reduced and preserved ejection fraction patients
- Describe how to utilize medical devices and surgical therapies in the care of heart failure patients
- Characterize the timing and expected outcome for surgical interventions in heart failure patients including those with ischemic heart disease and valvular heart disease

Target Audience
This comprehensive online program is intended for cardiologists, cardiovascular fellows, internists, advance practice providers and others who commonly care for patients with heart failure.  Individuals preparing for the ABIM Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiac Transplantation certification/recertification exam will find information and format valuable.
