Optimizing Heart Failure & Diabetes Care: Finding Synergy with SGLT-2 Inhibitors

August 6, 2020

WEBINAR TITLE: Optimizing Heart Failure & Diabetes Care: Finding Synergy with SGLT-2 Inhibitors

LENGTH: 60 minutes

Overall description/goals of webinar: This webinar aims to review the cardiovascular outcomes trials of diabetes agents with a focus on heart failure risk reduction with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors. Presenters will offer a practical approach to optimizing pharmacotherapy using patient cases with diabetes and heart failure. In addition, presenters will offer strategies for overcoming barriers encountered with formulary decisions and patient care when considering SGLT-2 inhibitors.

INTRO/CME ANNOUNCEMENT: 5 minutes

 

PRESENTATION #1: _25__ minutes

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Review evidence evaluating cardiovascular outcomes with SGLT-2 inhibitors.

Identify patients with heart failure for whom SGLT-2 inhibitor therapy should be considered.

Given a patient with heart failure and comorbid diabetes, develop a practical approach for optimizing heart failure pharmacotherapy using SGLT-2 inhibitors.

 

PRESENTATION #2: _25__ minutes

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Describe common barriers to prescribing SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure and diabetes, including inpatient formulary considerations, shared responsibility of prescribing and monitoring, and patient access.

Given a patient with diabetes and comorbid heart failure, develop a practical approach for optimizing diabetes pharmacotherapy using SGLT-2 inhibitors.
