This lecture was part of a CME accredited symposium: Modern management of diabetes in cardiology: impact of SGLT2 inhibition on cardiovascular outcomes and heart failure held at ESC 2017 in Barcelona

Educational information

The 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
