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 these agents should be utilised in clinical practice within GDMT, as well as considering potential application of the agents in HFpEF

Supported by an unrestricted educational service from Boehringer Ingelheim

Learning Objectives

  • Evaluate Emerging Data on the Treatment of Heart Failure With SGLT2 Inhibitors in Patients With or Without T2DM
  • Interpret the New Data on the Treatment of Heart Failure With SGLT2 Inhibitors in Patients With or Without T2DM in Relationship to the Existing Data
  • Understand the Implementation of the Emerging Data on the Treatment of Heart Failure With SGLT2 Inhibitors in Patients With or Without T2DM for Clinical Practice
