#HeartSuccess Series - Heart of the Matter: The state of heart failure care in Canada
In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Poon, Cardiologist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and Medical Co-Director of the Heart Function and Rapid Cardiology Assessment Clinic, and Dr. Sean Virani, Cardiologist at Providence Health Care and St. Paul’s Hospital, and Co-Chair of the 2021 CCS/CHFS Heart Failure Guidelines, discuss the current state of heart failure care in Canada. Dr. Poon talks about some of the findings from the Canadian Cardiovascular Society National Quality Project. They discuss quality indicators such as the 30-day readmission rate, length of stay and timing of hospital discharge, and whether there have been some changes over the last decade. Dr. Virani talks about the CAN-HF Registry which looks at patients who are hospitalized as well as patients in the ambulatory visits to see if they are treated as per guideline-directed medical therapy and the impact on patient outcomes.
