This study showed that estimated age-standardized prevalence of diabetes among US adults increased significantly from 9.8% in 1999-2000 to 14.3% in 2017-2018. In 2015-2018, only 21.2% of adults with diagnosed diabetes achieved individualized HbA1C targets, BP <130/80 mmHg, and LDL-c <100 mg/dL.
Microvascular disease (MVD) was associated with the development of HF in adults with T2DM, independently of traditional risk factors including CAD.
Besides current recommendations of GLP-1RA therapy for patients with T2DM and comorbidities to reduce CV events, Frederik Persson discusses future possibilities for use of GLP-1RA. With question to test your knowledge.
Prof. Rossing talks about setting treatment goals for patients with T2DM and CKD. These treatment goals are not limited to risk factor control but are also focused on organ protection.
There is a need for therapies for patients with low eGFR. Daniël van Raalte discusses whether GLP-1RA therapy can provide benefit for patients with T2DM and CKD. With question to test your knowledge.
ESC HF 2021 Use of empagliflozin was associated with reduced risk of CV and renal events, and all-cause mortality compared to use of DPP-4i in T2DM patients in a real world setting.
What are practical challenges around initiation of SGLT2i therapy? What should a physician explain to a patient at the start of SGLT2i therapy? Alice Cheng answers these questions in this video. With question to test your knowledge.
Ofri Mosenzon discusses the importance of identification of CKD and how to prevent CKD progression in T2DM with older and newer therapeutic options. With question to test your knowledge.
This e-learning program consists of three expert discussions in which management of patients with CKD is discussed.
Janaka Karalliedde gives an overview of trials and guidelines that provide evidence for using SGLT2 inhibitors to improve outcomes in patients with CKD.
ACC 2021 Risk of new-onset AF was reduced by 29% in patients randomized to finerenone compared to placebo in a population of patients with T2DM and CKD.
ACC 2021 A pooled patient-level analysis showed that sotagliflozin significantly reduced total CV deaths, HF hospitalizations, and urgent visits for HF across the full range of baseline EF, including in patients with HFpEF.
