In-person- Heart of the Matter: Improving Care and Outcomes in Patients with Cardiometabolic Disease
The prevalence of patients with chronic metabolic and cardiovascular multi-comorbidities has steadily increased over the last few decades. Optimal management of these complex cardiometabolic patients requires interdisciplinary collaboration between specialists to deliver prevention-focused treatment.
A remarkable shift in cardiometabolic disease prevention and treatment has recently occurred with the availability of glucose-lowering drugs with proven cardiorenal benefits in patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Please join us to hear Dr. Mikhail Kosiborod discuss advancements on the front of cardiometabolic guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and the applications for SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 receptor agonists as key components in this paradigm shift.
Target Audience
Cardiologists, primary care physicians, general internists, hospitalists, physician assistants, advanced practice registered nurses, nurses, pharmacists and other interested healthcare providers.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on prevention and treatment of heart failure and kidney disease.
- Describe the effects of GLP1 receptor agonists on major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes.
- Utilize the current guideline recommendations for SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 receptor agonists from diabetes, cardiovascular and kidney professional societies.
