- List appropriate treatments for patients with comorbid heart failure and diabetes mellitus
- Describe the impact that renal dysfunction has on the progression of heart failure and identify strategies to improve patient outcomes
- Explain the role of various biomarkers as diagnostic and prognostic indicators of heart failure and how monitoring of these biomarkers can be applied to the management of cardiovascular disease
