2026 HFM CME Symposium - Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Heart Failure: The Evolving Treatment Landscape

HAZLET, N.J. - June 30, 2026 - PRLog -- In this educational initiative, HF expert faculty members will explain the evidence with sMRAs in HFrEF, discuss the limitations associated with utilization of sMRA therapy, describe the distinct profiles of sMRAs and nsMRAs, and interpret clinical evidence with sMRAs and nsMRAs in HFmrEF and HFpEF. A case study will provide attendees with best practices in overcoming challenges of diagnosing HFpEF, identify "pillars" of therapy, and describe keys to their effective and safe implementation.
