2. Describe the pathophysiology of heart failure, including normal physiology and compensatory and maladaptive mechanisms
3. Assess and follow the patient with acute or advanced heart failure, using non-invasive and invasive tests and biomarkers.
4. Implement guideline-based therapy for patients with chronic heart failure, including pharmacologic agents; non-pharmacologic options, such as diet and exercise; and implantable devices
5. Implement appropriate care strategies for patients undergoing chemotherapy or with pulmonary hypertension, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, or cardiorenal syndrome.
6. Manage comorbidities in patients with chronic heart failure, including sleep disordered breathing, anemia, and depression
7. Implement strategies for effective disease management of the patient with advanced heart failure, including palliative care and transition to outpatient care
8. Provide peri-operative management of heart failure patients undergoing cardiac transplantation or implantation of a mechanical circulatory device
