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
