Overview

This educational symposium was part of the eSPACE CRM meeting held on 22-24 January 2021.

 

The session focuses on latest data and practical implication of SGLT2 Inhibitors in Heart Failure patients.

 

eSpace CRM

This symposium was funded by an unrestricted educational grant from AstraZeneca.

Learning objectives

This educational symposium will allow the audience to:

  • Understand the pathophysiological connections between cardiovascular disease and kidney disease
  • Understand how SGLT2 inhibition modifies cardiovascular and kidney function to affect patient outcomes
  • Identify individuals at risk of incident and progressive cardiorenal disease and utilise SGLT2 inhibitors appropriately for prevention and treatment of the associated conditions
  • Explain how recent guideline updates position SGLT2 inhibitors within the treatment regimen for patients with, or at risk of, cardiorenal disease
