Treating Heart Failure with Reduced and Preserved Ejection Fraction: Practical Insights

Описание: Heart failure is one of the most common—and most complex—conditions hospitalists manage. In this video, Dr. Joseph Sweigart, an internal medicine physician and educator, breaks down how to approach heart failure care in real time, with limited bandwidth and variable follow-up.

From interpreting ejection fraction subtypes to initiating GDMT under pressure, Dr. Sweigart offers straightforward, high-yield insights into what works—and what often gets overlooked. He shares his philosophy on aggressive early treatment and discusses common pitfalls. Dr. Sweigart also explains why good inpatient heart failure care doesn’t hinge on doing everything at once, but on doing the right things at the right time.

Whether you’re managing diuresis, setting up discharge, or deciding which medications to defer, this is essential viewing for hospital-based clinicians treating heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction.
