This presentation, presented on Saturday, December 11th, 2021 was part of the sixth annual 2021 Ted Rogers Centre Heart Failure Symposium. The sixth annual Ted Rogers Centre Heart Failure Symposium was held virtually from December 10-11, 2021. This meeting, which blends clinical innovations with the latest scientific advances, has grown to become Canada’s largest conference on heart failure. On Saturday, December 11th, we reprised a very popular program for primary care practitioners who manage patients with (or at risk of) heart failure, as well as other front-line health-care professionals. Experts addressed a range of topics that included emerging therapies, new standards of care, nurse-led initiatives, wearable technology, comorbidities and caring for specialized populations and complex cases. This program was approved for accreditation. About the speaker: Nadia Thomson, RN(EC), is a nurse practitioner in the Ted Rogers Centre, with a specialty-based practice in advanced heart failure.
