Overview

This on-demand version of the live broadcast provides the latest updates on SGLT2 Inhibition in heart failure.

 

Dr Harriette Van Spall (McMaster University, Hamilton, CA) and Dr Nandini Gupta (Mackenzie Health, Richmond Hill, CA) chair and co-chair the programme, and are joined by an outstanding international faculty for a series of insightful presentations and discussions.

 

Note, the live version of this session was CME accredited; this on-demand version is not.

This programme is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from AstraZeneca.

Learning Objectives

  • To explore the mechanisms of cardiorenal protection with SGLT2 inhibition
  • To examine how the safety-efficacy relationship of SGLT2 inhibitors vary with age, frailty, gender and race
  • To break down how SGLT2 inhibitors can be safely and optimally combined with other heart failure pharmacotherapies
  • To recognise the prognostic value of NT-proBNP in SGLT2 inhibition
  • To assess the merit of ejection fraction in heart failure care

Target Audience

  • Primary Care Physicians
  • Endocrinologists
  • Nephrologists
  • Cardiologists
  • Nurses
  • Pharmacists
  • Dietitians
  • Diabetes Educators

Faculty Biographies

Eileen  O’Meara

Eileen O’Meara

Professor of Medicine

Dr Eileen O’Meara is Professor at the Department of Medicine at the University of Montreal and practices cardiology at the Montreal Heart Institute.

Dr O’Meara pursued a Fellowship in Heart Failure at the Western Infirmary & Glasgow Royal Infirmary in the UK, and another in Stress Echocardiography and Tissue Doppler at Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou in Paris. 

Her research focuses on remodeling and fibrosis biomarkers in HF, including cardiac imaging biomarkers; as well as on comorbid conditions that contribute to HF, more specifically diabetes, CKD, and anemia. Dr O’Meara has long been involved in clinical research on HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and was the Canadian lead investigator for the TOPCAT and PARAGON-HF trials and co-national lead investigator for the DELIVER trial.
