Overview

Join Dr Walter Schiffer (Washington University in St. Louis, US), Dr Jose Alvarez-Cardona (New York University School of Medicine, US), Prof Dan Lenihan (Saint Francis Healthcare System, US) and Prof Joe Carver (University of Pennsylvania, US) in this month's Journal Club where they’ll be discussing the recently published paper ‘SGLT2 Inhibitor Use and Risk of Clinical Events in Patients With Cancer Therapy-Related Cardiac Dysfunction’.

They’ll explore the impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on patients experiencing cardiac dysfunction due to cancer therapy, whether the use of SGLT2 inhibitors affects the occurrence of clinical events in this population and potential therapeutic interventions to mitigate cardiac dysfunction in cancer patients undergoing treatment.

The partnership combines Radcliffe’s rapidly growing global community and expertise in delivering the most innovative virtual events, with the knowledge and experience of IC-OS’s members, to curate broadcasts that challenge current practice and have real-world patient benefits.

This broadcast is for cardiologists, haematologists, oncologists, nurse practitioners, nurses and pharmacists.

The International Cardio-Oncology Society is a committed group of professionals throughout the world who are striving to protect the cardiovascular health of all patients who are undergoing cancer therapy. By optimising the cardiac status of patients with cancer before, during and after their treatment, IC-OS is collectively improving the overall outcomes including survival and quality of life. IC-OS aims to provide the latest scientific and clinical education and research for anyone treating patients with cancer in the hopes of enhancing cardiovascular protection.
