Malaysia In Focus - Reverse Cardiac Remodelling Educational Programme

Overview

This on-demand programme, Malaysia In Focus - Reverse Cardiac Remodelling Educational Programme, has been developed to further education among practicing cardiologists to ensure understanding of the latest developments in reverse cardiac remodelling in heart failure, how emerging data relates to current practice in Malaysia, and is intended to support the application of current understanding of treatment strategies for heart failure, and the role of cardiac remodelling, biomarkers, and provide a review of trials and latest data..

 

The programme brings together a leading international faculty from Malaysian, US, UK, and Italy, for a seven-part series.

Endorsement

This programme is endorsed by the National Heart Association to promote quality cardiovascular care through education.

Support

This programme is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Novartis. Novartis had no involvement in the organisation of the programme.

  • Your results will be automatically saved and if a pass score is achieved (where applicable), you may be eligible to claim credit for the activity and receive a certificate of completion.

Target Audience

  • Cardiologists, heart failure specialists, allied health professionals, and GPs with a specialist interest in heart failure.

Learning Objectives

  • Define cardiac remodelling, with particular focus on the influence of cardiovascular damage, pathogenic risk factors and the structural and functional changes in the left ventricle.
  • List the main clinical implications of cardiac remodelling.
  • Summarise the relationship between circulating biomarkers, such as NT-proBNP, troponin and sST2, with the extent left ventricular remodelling in subjects with HF.
  • Interpret the most recent clinical data from pharmacological and device-based studies in HFrEF and HfpEF.
  • Recall the evidence for reverse cardiac remodelling brought about through ARNi therapy, including (but not limited to) PROVE-HF and EVALUATE-HF.
  • Review real-world insight into the impact that ARNi therapy has on cardiac reverse remodelling.
