Educational information
Educational objectives of this symposium were to:
- Summarise the epidemiology and pathophysiology of patients at increased cardiovascular risk and diabetes
- Identify key components of renal glucose handling and the contribution of the kidney to glucose homeostasis
- Describe the effect of multiple interventions that currently are deployed for T2D on cardiovascular safety and the currently unmet need on impacting cardiovascular outcomes-
- Explain, based on scientific evidence, the effects that SGLT2 inhibiting agents may have on cardiometabolic markers, including lipids, weight gain, risk of hypoglycemia, HbA1c, glucose levels, related markers and cardiovascular outcomes
- Discuss current and future strategies for practical management and interventions to prevent cardiovascular events in multi-risk patients
CME accreditation
This symposium was accredited by the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology (EBAC) for 1 hour of external CME credit(s).
