  • Overview

    RAASi is the foundational therapy for patients with heart failure and/or chronic kidney disease. But when these patients experience episodes of hyperkalemia RAASi therapy is often down-titrated or discontinued. In this program, a multidisciplinary faculty discusses how to navigate hyperkalemia in patients with cardiorenal disease.

    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 3 presentations on navigating hyperkalemia in patients with cardiorenal disease.

    Challenges of managing hyperkalemia in patients with cardiorenal disease while maintaining RAASi therapy – Gianluigi Savarese, MD, PhD – Stockholm, Sweden

    • Gianluigi Savarese reviews studies on hyperkalemia in patients with HF and/or CKD and the outcomes of down-titrating or discontinuing RAASi therapy in response to hyperkalemia.

    Implementing the latest evidence on novel potassium binders for achieving long term goals – Aaron Wong, MD – Bridgend, Wales, UK

    • What are management options for patients with cardiorenal disease and hyperkalemia? Aaron Wong talks about novel potassium binders as enablers of RAASi therapy in this patient population

    Optimizing clinical care in patients with cardiorenal disease for achieving long term goals – Clara Bonanad Lozano, MD, PhD – Valencia, Spain and James Burton, MD – Leicester, UK

    • A cardiologist and nephrologist discuss what the optimal management is of a case of a patient with cardiorenal disease and hyperkalemic episodes.
