CME: Breaking barriers in guideline-based RAASi therapy: Solving issues with hyperkalemia

Overview
Despite the proven benefits of RAASi-based therapy, RAASi therapy is often underused in clinical practice. In this series, three experts discuss the reasons and clinical consequences of suboptimal RAASi therapy in patients with HF, and focus on how to solve issues with hyperkalemia.
This course consists of 3 episodes. Watch all episodes, answer pre- and post-test questions, and start earning CME credits.
Program Highlights
This educational program consists of three presentations on HF and hyperkalemia.
Continuing foundational therapy in symptomatic HF: the key role of RAASi-based therapy - Shelley Zieroth, MD - Winnipeg, MB, Canada
