Webinar, Heart Failure 1

Our Broken Hearts – The Rise of Heart Failure

A quiet but profound shift is reshaping cardiovascular disease in the modern body. While the classical heart attack is becoming less common, heart failure (HF) is steadily increasing – and it is now affecting people at a younger age than ever before.

To understand this troubling transition, we must first seek to know the heart itself.

Webinar 1: Heart Weary – The Terrain and Pathophysiology of Heart Failure

In this opening webinar, we will explore the remarkable structure of the myocytes and myocardium, and the central role of mitochondria in sustaining heart health. We examine the critical function of the capillary network that nourishes the heart muscle, the intriguing hidden forces that govern circulation and the how the heart coheres with brain and body. 

With this foundation in place, we turn to the clinical reality of HF looking at the different categories of HF, how they are defined in practice, and what they indicate.

Finally, we will introduce the major drivers that degrade the heart’s terrain, setting the stage for Webinar 2, where we will explore strategies for genuine cardiac healing and rejuvenation.

What you will learn in this webinar:

• The unique structure and needs of the myocyte and myocardiums helical architecture.
• Mitochondrial function in the healthy heart – structure, communication, fuel, and patterns of dysregulation.
• The microcirculatory terrain – the glycocalyx and capillary health.
• How to assess the different types and clinical presentations of heart failure (HFrEF, HFpEF, HFmrEF).
• The key drivers of degeneration in cardiac function – from metabolic and inflammatory to toxic and infective.

This lesson includes:
