HAZLET, N.J. - Nov. 4, 2024 - PRLog -- In this educational initiative, a faculty of experts— cardiologists Dr. Mikhail Kosiborod, Dr. Mark Petrie, and Dr. Shelley Zieroth, and nephrologist Dr. David Cherney—will explain, through lecture and "real-world" case presentation, best practices for managing hyperkalemia with potassium binders and facilitating maintenance of cardiorenal protection with RAASi.
The educational objectives include:
- Describe the relationship between suboptimal RAASi therapy and poor cardiorenal outcomes
- Explain clinical data with, and demonstrate prudent use of novel potassium binders
- Identify patients who would benefit from anti-hyperkalemia medications
