There has been considerable clinical evidence for the use of potassium binders in the management of hyperkalemia in patients with heart failure. The most recent study is the DIAMOND trial, and results were just presented at the American College of Cardiology 2022 meeting. So what does it mean to “enable” RAASi therapy, and how does this impact outcomes for our patients with heart failure? Join our experts as they discuss the value of these trial results and the body of clinical evidence for use of potassium binders in the management of hyperkalemia in patients with heart failure.

Learning Objectives
After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
- Understand the challenges in managing medical therapy in patients with HFrEF experiencing recurrent hyperkalemia
- Discuss clinical considerations for patients with HFrEF and comorbid conditions like diabetes and kidney dysfunction
- Evaluate clinical trial data concerning the use of potassium binders in enabling optimal dosing of RAASi therapy in patients with HFrEF
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of cardiologists, nephrologists, primary care physicians, and all other professionals involved in the identification and treatment of HF.
