Learning Objectives

Educational Objectives

• Evaluate the barriers to long-term hyperkalemia management with RAASi therapy for heart failure patients with comorbidities to improve patient outcomes
• Analyze case studies, considering the latest evidence on novel potassium binders, to optimize their use for hyperkalemia management in high-risk cardiorenal patients receiving RAASi therapy
• Develop evidence-based multidisciplinary strategies to identify, prevent, and manage hyperkalemia in patients with cardiorenal disease, focusing on early intervention, long-term maintenance, and patient-centered care.
