HFSA AHFTC Board Review 2026 — videos, slides and a question bank for the HF boards
The HFSA AHFTC Board Review 2026 is the Heart Failure Society of America’s OnDemand review for advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology. It combines recorded lectures, the PDF slide decks and a board-style question bank, with named sessions from Clyde Yancy, Mark Drazner, Barry Borlaug, Bonnie Ky, Daniel Burkhoff and others — covering hemodynamics, shock, MCS, transplant immunology and rejection, cardiomyopathies and the statistics that appear on the exam.
- 34blueprint topics

What you’ll be able to do
- Interpret heart failure hemodynamics and classify cardiogenic shock
- Select and manage durable and temporary MCS, ECMO and their complications
- Handle transplant immunology, cellular and antibody-mediated rejection and immunosuppression
- Work up inherited, inflammatory, infiltrative and restrictive cardiomyopathies
- Manage RV failure, TR and pulmonary hypertension
- Answer ABIM AHFTC-style questions, statistics included
Inside the prep
Foundations of heart failure
Epidemiology and risk factors with Clyde Yancy, diagnosis and clinical assessment and optimal HFrEF therapy with Mark Drazner, pathophysiology from cellular energetics to neurohormones with Daniel Burkhoff, and hemodynamics with James Fang.
HFSA AHFTC Board Review 2026 clinical syndromes
HFpEF, CKM syndrome and cardiorenal interactions, acute and hospitalised heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, RV failure and TR with Barry Borlaug, cardio-oncology with Bonnie Ky, pregnancy, valve disease, arrhythmias, sudden death prevention and CRT.
Advanced therapies
Heart transplantation, immunology, rejection and immunosuppression, and the full spectrum of mechanical circulatory support from temporary devices and ECMO to durable pumps and their complications.
Questions and exam extras
A board-style question bank to find weak spots, clinico-pathologic images for the boards, and statistics for the HF board with Brian Claggett.
