SGLT-2 inhibitors represent one of the single biggest advances in heart failure practice, but how confident are you when comes to using them in different patients, and what can we reasonably expect in the coming months and years from ongoing trials?
Watch our esteemed faculty – Prof Andrew Coats, Dr Biykem Bozkurt and Prof Carolyn Lam as they summarise the latest SGLT-2 inhibitor data in heart failure and attempt to demystify some important practical points around their use with other agents.
To conclude the session, the panel will consider best practices in light of the evidence and guidance we have available today and how to implement this in practice.
