Overview
The opportunity for cardiovascular disease prevention in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has recently expanded with antihyperglycemic agents demonstrating significant reductions in the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) demonstrating robust reductions in heart failure (HF). Although the exact mechanisms of cardiovascular (CV) benefit remain uncertain, they appear to be unrelated to the direct glucose-lowering effects.
Recent trials — including the recently presented DAPA-HF — have provided further insight into the effectiveness of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in the absence of T2DM.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the SGLT2 inhibitor cardiovascular outcome trial (CVOT) data; differentiate the latest guideline updates for the treatment of T2D
- Consider comorbidities, including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and heart failure (HF)
- Apply clinical and real-world evidence of the SGLT2 inhibitor class for use in prevention of hospitalisation in HF, as well as future ongoing studies in the treatment of HF
- Assess the interrelationships linking diabetes, HF and CVD
- Interpret the potential cardio-renal mechanisms of the SGLT2 inhibitor class in reducing the risk of CV, including HF.
- Evaluate emerging data of the treatment of HF with SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with or without T2DM.

Carolyn Lam
Professor and Senior Consultant
Prof Carolyn Lam is a Senior Consultant at the Department of Cardiology and Director of Women's Heart Health at the National Heart Centre Singapore, having pioneered the first Women’s Heart Clinic in Singapore. Prof Lam is a world-renowned specialist in heart failure (particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [HFpEF]). Her work in the PARAGON-HF and EMPEROR-Preserved trials led to the first FDA-approved treatment for HFpEF and the first robustly positive clinical outcomes trial in HFpEF to-date.
