Heart Failure and Nutrition

Learn about the role of nutrition in systolic and diastolic heart failure.

The Learning Process:

Participants are expected to watch the video, reflect on its content, and complete the CME self-assessment and CME evaluation. Only upon completing this process will a participant's continuing education certificate be generated. The estimated time a learner will need to complete this self-study activity is 1 hour.

This activity is approved for continuing education for physicians, nurses, dietitians and health and wellness coaches.

The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Objectives:
1. Understand the general basics, underlying mechanisms, risk factors and etiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, including both non ischemic and ischemic cardiomyopathy.
2. Understand the most up to date literature for utilizing nutrition in both systolic heart failure and diastolic heart failure.
3. Understand preventing both diastolic and systolic heart failure with evidence based nutrition.

Requirements for successful completion: Participants will be awarded contact hours commensurate with participation after completion of the post-test with a score of 70% or higher.
