Brief Overview
Chronic heart failure (referred to hereafter as heart failure, HF) remains a major public health issue in Australia, placing a significant burden on both healthcare resources and patients' quality of life. With a high prevalence, rising incidence, and significant morbidity and mortality, the need for improved management of HF, particularly in terms of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), is urgent. This audit seeks to address those gaps in care and encourage widespread adoption of evidence-based practices.

Program Outcome

This audit seeks to address those gaps in care and encourage widespread adoption of evidence-based practices.

By the end of this audit, participants will be able to:

· Assess the impact of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare burden associated with HF, including the high rates of hospitalisation, rehospitalisation, and the significant economic costs, emphasising the need for improved management and adherence to guidelines

· Describe the key components of GDMT for HF (including ACEIs, ARNIs, BBs, MRAs, and SGLT2Is) and discuss their proven benefits in reducing mortality and hospitalisations in patients with HFrEF and HFpEF

· Identify common barriers to the effective implementation of GDMT in clinical practice, including under-prescription, patient-related factors, and systemic challenges, and explore strategies to overcome these barriers

· Interpret the role of NT-proBNP testing to aid in diagnosing HF, particularly in non-hospital settings, and outline how these tests can enhance detection, improving diagnostic efficiency and cost-effectiveness

· Apply evidence-based guidelines for the management of HF in clinical practice, including the appropriate use of pharmacological treatments based on ejection fraction to optimise patient care and outcomes.
