Overview

Following recent changes to guidelines in light of the publication of Phase III data with SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with HFrEF, with and without type 2 diabetes, this programme brings together a leading faculty to best inform of the latest clinical evidence and real-world application for optimising treatment strategies in heart failure.

 

Prof Martin Cowie (Imperial College London, UK), moderates the proceedings, that comprises a number of insightful presentations and a panel discussion, with contributions from Prof Giuseppe Rosano (St George's Hospitals NHS Trust, London, UK), Dr Javed Butler (University of Mississippi, US), and Dr Shelley Zieroth (University of Manitoba, Canada).

Intended for healthcare professionals only. This IME programme is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from AstraZeneca, who has had no involvement in its organisation. Views and opinions expressed in the programme belong to the authors (faculty and delegates) and not necessarily to that of AstraZeneca.

Learning objectives

  • Recall recent changes to guidelines following the publication of Phase III data with SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with HFrEF, with and without type 2 diabetes
  • Describe the type and extent of clinical benefit observed when SGLT2 inhibitors are added to standard HF therapy in patients with HFrEF
  • Assimilate prevailing hypotheses and insights from key thought leaders on optimal therapeutic sequencing of the ‘five pillars’ of HF therapy
  • Apply newly gained knowledge on therapeutic sequencing to surrogate patient cases

Audience

  • Heart Failure Specialists
  • General Cardiologists
  • Nurses
  • Allied Health Professionals

Faculty Biographies

Giuseppe Rosano

Giuseppe Rosano

Consultant Cardiologist and Professor of Cardiology (Hon)

Giuseppe Rosano was born and raised in Vibo Valentia, Italy, where he developed an early interest in medicine and cardiovascular science. While detailed information about his family and early childhood is not widely published, his Italian background and international academic career reflect strong cultural roots combined with global engagement in cardiovascular medicine.

 

Academic History

Professor Rosano obtained his Medical Degree in Medicine and Surgery with full honours from La Sapienza University of Rome in 1988. He subsequently completed his specialisation in Cardiology in 1992. Following his clinical training, he pursued advanced academic and research qualifications in the United Kingdom, earning both an MSc and a PhD in Medical Sciences from Imperial College London. His postgraduate research focused on cardiovascular physiology and pharmacology, forming the foundation of his future work in heart failure and cardiac metabolism.
