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.
