The Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Clinical Simulator Case Series
An Interactive CME Experience
The Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF) Clinical Simulator Case Series is designed to educate participants through actual patient cases. Exposure to real world patient challenges will offer a greater understanding of the spectrum of ADHF.
Each participant has the ability to order lab tests and procedures, interpret findings, render diagnoses and utilize various drug therapies. All actions are recorded and analyzed throughout the simulation. Upon completion, feedback of case analysis and diagnosis is provided along with cited references for further research opportunities.
The ADHF Clinical Simulator will offer six (6) interactive case studies over the next several months.
