Overview

This programme focuses on assessing recent data on SGLT2 inhibitors that show they reduce CV outcomes, HF hospitalisations and mortality in HFrEF patients irrespective of T2DM .

 

The expert panel also discuss how new data from the EMPEROR-Reduced trial should be interpreted against complementary SGLT2 data and how these agents should be utilised in clinical practice.

Supported by an unrestricted educational service from Boehringer Ingelheim

Learning Objectives

  • Evaluate Emerging Data on the Treatment of Heart Failure with SGLT-2 Inhibitors in Patients with or without T2DM
  • Compare SGLT-2 Inhibitor Trial Data on the Treatment of Heart Failure in Patients with or Without T2DM.
  • Recall the Impact of Emerging SGLT-2 Inhibitor Data in Heart Failure on Clinical Practice
