This education session was planned by the Committee on Scientific Sessions Program. The sessions explore large-scale collaborative activities to advance congenity and pediatric cardiology, changes in practice and research in the post-COVID era, and partnerships and different perspectives in global cardiovascular care that might close the gap in congenital populations.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major risk factor for heart failure. Patients with CKD are often less optimally treated with guideline-directed medical therapies for heart failure due to concern for worsening renal function. In this session, we will discuss the issue of 'renalism' in heart failure management and the impact on patients living with both heart failure and CKD. The session will discuss the data with decongestion and its effects on biomarkers of kidney function. It covers the nuances of initiation and titration of the foundational therapies for heart failure in those with impaired kidney function, especially with attention to risk of hyperkalemia. Finally, a synopsis of the KDIGO guideline on heart failure with chronic kidney disease will summarize key aspects of implementation of cardiorenal protective therapies in this vulnerable population.

The Quality of Care and Outcomes Research Symposium at Scientific Sessions 2023 program features contemporary discussions in cardiac care, a session on health equity, an interactive session, and two abstract-based sessions: the Early Career Investigator Award Finalists, and the Rapid Fire Oral Session. Connect, network with your QCOR peers during the Networking Lunch! The QCOR program will be of interest to clinicians, researchers, medical students and trainees, nurses, pharmacists, administrators, healthcare and managed care professionals, policymakers, and other professionals interested in the quality of care and outcomes research in cardiovascular disease and stroke.
