Stepping Beyond the Status Quo in Heart Failure: The Revolutionary Role of SGLT2 Inhibition
Click here to complete this activity
Designed to foster meaningful interprofessional and interdisciplinary collaboration, this enduring activity will explore the evolution of SGLT2 inhibition in the era of cardiovascular outcomes trials (CVOTs), as well as evaluate foundational mechanisms linking type 2 diabetes (T2D) to heart failure (HF). Expert faculty will also examine new and emerging CVOT data for SGLT2 inhibitors, including recent approvals and guideline recommendations, and offer insights into how these agents are shifting the HF treatment paradigm and broadening horizons for both diabetic and nondiabetic patients. To reinforce these teaching points, this activity includes a case-based discussion focused on key characteristics of an effective, integrated approach to HF management.
This activity is presented by Creative Educational Concepts and supported by an independent educational grant from AstraZeneca.
Target Audience
This activity has been planned for cardiologists, endocrinologists, primary care physicians, pharmacists, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Explore the evolution of SGLT2 inhibition in the cardiovascular outcomes trial (CVOT) era and evaluate mechanisms linking type 2 diabetes (T2D) and heart failure (HF).
- Appraise new and emerging CVOT data for antihyperglycemic agents and compare outcomes data across the T2D therapeutic classes.
- Examine recently-reported CVOT data for SGLT2 inhibitors, and discuss ways that these agents are shifting the HF treatment paradigm and broadening horizons for both diabetic and nondiabetic patients.
- Using a case-based format, recognize opportunities for cardiologists to collaborate with endocrinologists, primary care providers, and other members of the healthcare team, and identify key characteristics of an integrated approach to HF management.
