Heart Failure: Treatment of HF with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF)

This video was developed by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society to outline all of the essential steps for applying guideline-directed medical therapy in patients with HFrEF. This video presents the CCS HF Guideline therapeutic treatment algorithm in three main steps.
Most patients with HF in Canada are managed by a primary care physician. It is therefore important for primary care physicians to apply an evidence-based approach to the management of patients with symptoms of HF and a reduced ejection fraction.
Applying an evidence-based therapeutic approach to patients with HFrEF has been shown to improve survival and outcomes for patients, including fewer symptoms and hospitalizations and better functional capacity and quality of life.

This lecture will help in my practice.

Would like to see video for patients' understanding. Describing name of the medications rather than ACEIs or ARNIs etc. Less giargons more layman terms please. Also slower speed of speech for foreigners or patients. Very informative video for heath professionals. Need one equavalent for patients, easier to understand. Thank you so much.

Much better than ACCF/AHA guidelines

Great summary. Concise and to the point. Please make more videos like this.

I would love to see a CCS guideline showing ARNI as the first-line treatment for HF. ARNI can double the benefits shown by ACE-Is as shown in the PARADIGM-HF study. In another study, PIONEER -HF also showed that ARNI can significantly lower NT-pro BNP compared with ACE-Is.

Has ARNI been studied in hyperkalemia?

Nice

[@ankitmishra8043]

Can we have a similar type of video for STEMI and NSTEMI, the therapy for these conditions is also quite complex.

[@tabarakqassim]

i suggest you watch armando's ACS video . it explains stemi/nstemi quite well

The music (muzak?) track on this video is _incredibly_ intrusive and irritating and reduces the impact of the message, as one constantly tries to filter it out. The video would be much more impactful without any music. When my cardiologist visits my hospital bed, he is not accompanied by a backing track!

How a renowned society puts a presentation on the treatment of any heart disease on an open video platform, providing access to medical information to a lay audience? This is, at the very least, complete irresponsibility. A shame.
