Overview
In this symposium, part of Heart Failure Online 2022, we focus on the management of HFpEF and hear from an esteemed faculty on the totality of evidence that places SGLT-2 inhibitors as the only drug class to significantly improve mortality and morbidity in patients with an left ventricular ejection fraction >40%.
In addition to hearing about the data which led to changes in the recent ACC guidelines, the faculty also explore the impact of clinical inertia and the remaining challenges in HFpEF management.
Key Learning Objectives
Upon participation in this programme physicians should be able to:
- Identify HFpEF patients who may benefit from being initiated on an SGLT-2 inhibitor
- Recall current inertia rates amongst prescribers who manage heart failure
- Adopt effective treatment strategies for HFpEF patients early in the disease course
- Recall current guideline directed medical therapy options in HFpEF
- Review clinical, real world and quality of life evidence for the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors in HFpEF
Target Audience
- Heart Failure Specialists
- General Cardiologists
- General Practitioners (GPs)
- Nurses, Pharmacists, and other Allied Healthcare Professionals

Javed Butler
Professor of Medicine
Dr Javed Butler is President, Baylor Scott and White Research Institute, Dallas, TX and Professor of Medicine, University of Mississippi, Jackson, MS, US. He is board certified in cardiovascular medicine and advanced heart failure and transplant medicine. His research interests focus on clinical trials in patients with heart failure.

Carolyn Lam
Professor and Senior Consultant
Prof Carolyn Lam is a Senior Consultant at the Department of Cardiology and Director of Women's Heart Health at the National Heart Centre Singapore, having pioneered the first Women’s Heart Clinic in Singapore. Prof Lam is a world-renowned specialist in heart failure (particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [HFpEF]). Her work in the PARAGON-HF and EMPEROR-Preserved trials led to the first FDA-approved treatment for HFpEF and the first robustly positive clinical outcomes trial in HFpEF to-date.
