Overview
Moderated by Prof Andrew JS Coats, Heart Research Institute, Sydney, AU, this broadcast explores how a complex heart failure patient would be treated by a multidisciplinary team.
Join Prof Andrew JS Coats, Dr Katherine Tuttle, Prof Silvio Inzucchi and Prof Richard Hobbs in this unique discussion, as they examine how the broader heart failure team can work together effectively and consider best practices for referral and initiation of foundational medical therapy.

Terms & Conditions
Radcliffe Education requires contributors to our CME programmes to disclose any relevant financial relationships that have occurred within the past 12 months that could create a conflict of interest. These will be identified in the faculty section if applicable.
The session, ‘Examining a Complex Heart Failure Case’ is accredited by the European Board for Accreditation of Continuing Education for Health Professionals (EBAC) for 1 hour of external CME credits.
Each participant should claim only those hours of credit that have actually been spent in the educational activity. EBAC works according to the quality standards of the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME), which is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).
Through an agreement between the European Board for Accreditation of Continuing Education for Health Professionals and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EBAC External CME credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert EBAC credit to AMA credit can be found on the AMA website.
