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.

This study showed that prescription rates of evidence-based medical therapies are suboptimal in patients with comorbid HFrEF and CKD, even at eGFR levels where therapies are not contraindicated by kidney dysfunction.

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.

This analysis of the PIVOTAL trial showed that treatment with high-dose IV iron administered proactively, compared to low-dose IV iron administered reactively, decreased the occurrence of first and recurrent HF events in patients receiving hemodialysis.

In this e-learning program, three experts discuss outcomes of relevant trials and guidelines that provide evidence and recommendations for using SGLT2i to improve outcomes in patients with CKD.

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 This post hoc analysis of the TRANSITION study demonstrated that early initiation and up-titration of sacubitril/valsartan after acute decompensated HF was well tolerated in HFrEF patients with CKD.

ESC HF 2021 A subanalysis of FIDELIO-DKD showed that finerenone lowered CV and kidney outcomes compared to placebo in patients with T2DM and CKD irrespective of pre-existing HF status.

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.
