5:20 Clinical Implications: Approaches to Managing Patients
with Heart Failure and Hyponatremia
Barry H. Greenberg, San Diego, CA
5:40 Questions and Answers (ARS)
Learning Objectives:
1. Review the prevalence, pathophysiology and clinical
implications of hyponatremia in patients with heart failure
including the relationship between the kidney and heart in
acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF)
2. Discuss most recent data on the clinical consequences of
hyponatremia in heart failure
3. Identify the role of free water clearance and hyponatremia in
ADHF and the renal consequences of neurohormonal activation
4. Discuss the current guidelines and emerging therapeutic
options for the prevention and treatment of hyponatremia in
patients with heart failure

and minimizing non-responses through optimal
lead placement and CRT programming
3. Outline the evolving role of aggressive HF management
based on physiologic data, and discuss the impact of
multidisciplinary clinics
4. Review the most recent clinical data regarding the role of
biventricular (BiV) pacing in improving patient outcomes
