Experts in this episode, explore tools for assessing ischemic stroke and bleeding risks, principles of anticoagulant dosing in atrial fibrillation, and alternative treatments for patients who can't take anticoagulants. This podcast discusses monitoring parameters, reversal agents, and best practices for perioperative anticoagulation management. Listen now for practical insights on optimizing patient care.

In this episode, experts unpack the emerging concept of cardio-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome and its pivotal role in the development and progression of HFpEF and HFmrEF. Listeners will learn how to identify CKM disease states and comorbidities while addressing risk-stratification, interpret diagnostic markers beyond eGFR, and consider integration of evidence-based metabolic therapies (SGLT2 inhibitors, MRAs, GLP-1 receptor agonists) within a multidisciplinary care model.

Experts review definitions, diagnostic testing, risk prediction tools, and phenotypes of HFpEF. Listen to learn about common mimickers of HFpEF, and diagnostic clues and tests to help identify these diagnoses.
