Hypertension is commonly seen in primary care practice settings. It requires up-to-date evidence-based management to optimize clinical outcomes for patients. This activity presents multiple clinical pearls on this topic through a Q&A format, highlighting common clinical challenges that primary care physicians face when treating patients with hypertension. Using recent data and existing guidelines, recommendations for management will be reviewed starting from diagnosis through initial treatment selection.

Heart Failure is a serious health concern amongst older adults, afflicting over 6 million Americans, the majority of whom are 65 years of age or older. It is the leading cause of hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality in this population. It is more challenging to diagnose and manage HF in older patients due to multiple factors including multimorbidity, polypharmacy, cognitive impairment, and frailty. Furthermore, clinicians struggle to remain up-to-date on key clinical trial data and recent guidelines on developing individualized treatment plans for patients. To improve outcomes for patients with HF, clinicians must be adept at recognizing its common signs or symptoms, conducting a thorough diagnostic evaluation, and developing a treatment plan that addresses the multiple challenges and complexities that this patient population faces. Here, we cover these key principles in a short, case-based teaching module.

In this brief program, expert faculty will discuss the application of new options to improve outcomes for those with moderate to severe asthma. First, the faculty will describe the features of uncontrolled asthma and asthma phenotypes. Next, case studies will be used to aid in identification of patients with severe asthma for whom use of add-on biologic therapy may be appropriate based on efficacy, safety, and disease- and patient-specific factors. Finally, the faculty will share approaches to shared decision-making with patients that result in written action plans and strategies for addressing adherence and multidisciplinary management of asthma and its comorbidities.
