Italian ONCA Team Hosts SINPE-ADI-SIC Webinar on Nutrition and Sarcopenia in Heart Failure Patients

As part of the final day of Malnutrition Awareness Week 2024, the Italian ONCA (Optimal Nutritional Care for All) team, in collaboration with SINPE (Italian Society of Artificial Nutrition and Metabolism), ADI (Italian Association of Dietitians), and SIC (Italian Society of Cardiology), will host a highly relevant webinar on Friday, November 8th, from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. The webinar, titled “The Role of Nutrition in Sarcopenia in Patients Suffering from Heart Failure,” will delve into the crucial connection between nutrition and muscle mass preservation in patients battling both sarcopenia and heart failure.

The event features an expert panel of speakers with extensive experience in the fields of clinical nutrition, cardiology, and internal medicine, including:

• Barbara Paolini – a specialist in nutrition with a focus on dietary interventions for chronic diseases.
• Pasquale Perrone Filardi – a renowned cardiologist, offering insights on the cardiovascular impacts of sarcopenia in heart failure patients.
• Sergio Riso – an expert in metabolic and nutritional needs in chronic illnesses.
• Marialaura Scarcella – a clinical nutritionist dedicated to improving outcomes for patients with heart failure and sarcopenia.

Key Discussion Topics

The webinar will explore the role of nutrition in managing sarcopenia, a condition characterized by muscle mass loss and weakness, which is particularly challenging for heart failure patients. Attendees will gain insights into:

• Nutritional strategies that can help preserve muscle mass and improve the overall health and functionality of heart failure patients.
• The importance of protein intake and other key nutrients to combat muscle wasting and promote recovery.
• Collaborative care approaches between cardiologists, nutritionists, and healthcare providers to ensure optimal management of sarcopenia alongside heart failure.
• Latest research on the link between nutrition, muscle health, and cardiovascular outcomes, focusing on how dietary interventions can improve the quality of life for these vulnerable patients.

Why Attend?

This webinar is essential for healthcare professionals, cardiologists, nutritionists, dietitians, and caregivers involved in the treatment of heart failure and sarcopenia. The discussion will provide evidence-based nutritional interventions that can be integrated into the care plans of patients, improving both their muscle health and heart function.

How to Join

Registration is open through the official SINPE website. Healthcare professionals and those interested in the intersection of nutrition, cardiology, and chronic disease management are encouraged to participate.
