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
