• Evidence-based management of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
• Evidence-based management of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
• How to detect advanced heart failure and respond to it.
• Monitoring patients and troubleshooting common issues such as fluid overload and hyperkalaemia in the community.

Dr Shanmuganathan’s talk will focus on evidence-based diagnostic and management pathways for patients with suspected or confirmed heart failure.
