Thanks to @Heart_BMJ for publishing our review showing our #HeartFailure drug titration schedule & a novel #QuadScore we use to tackle #TreatmentInertia. We importantly highlight the need for #MoreHeartFailureNursesAndPharmacists to deliver #QuadRx

A binary definition of #HeartFailure using an #LVEF50 threshold. Avoids confusion. Simplifies care. Tackles Rx inertia. Good to know we had been using this threshold for 10 years in #Essex and a principle of the #QuadScore 😉 @slangley21 @PodricoCliffe @DrArchanaG @drjasondungu @EssexCTC @thebrianosaur .

Two years in the making - great to see them published.

Alongside the full clinical guideline, there is also a patient version, designed to make the recommendations more accessible for people living with heart failure, their families and carers.

We marked #HeartFailureAwarenessWeek with a series of activities in Essex at @MSEHospitals & @EssexCTC and @HighChelmer Chelmsford.

We rounded it all off with a symposium at Orsett Hall from our key note speaker Professor Andrew Clark @MrTheProf who reminded us to centre the patient in our decision making . We also heard very inspiring patient stories that reminded us of why we do what we do.

Thank you to all our patients, staff, members of the public and sponsors who came out to support. #BeatHF #FreedomFromFailure #DetectTheUndetected

An important cohort of our #HeartFailure patients are those with inherited cardiomyopathies. Improving access to gene testing is beneficial not just for them but for their families. Great job leading on this @drjasondungu

We are pleased to share our paper on genetics in cardiomyopathy patients attending the Essex ICC clinic, available to view online.
Do we need to revise the UK National Genomics Test Directory testing criteria for cardiomyopathies?
Yes ☑️
Why?
