Patient Case: Reducing The Risk for Adverse Events in a T2DM Patient with HFrEF, CKD, and Existing ASCVD

The advent of SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 RAs to address cardiorenal risk in patients with and without type 2 diabetes, has opened up new avenues of prevention and treatment. However, individualizing the vast amount of evidence to patient care remains challenging. During this case, you will have a chance to explore treatment decisions to decrease overall cardiorenal risk in a complex patient, accompanied by expert commentary and brief review of evidence with SGLT-2is and GLP-1 RAs across cardiovascular outcomes trials.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for US-based healthcare professionals, including cardiologists, endocrinologists, primary care clinicians (PCPs), nurse practioners, nurses, pharmacists, and other allied health professionals.

Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

  • Summarize updated guidelines and recently-concluded studies about the efficacy and safety of SGLT-2is and GLP-1 RAs in addressing cardio-renal risk in patients with and without T2D.
  • Develop individualized treatment regimens based on the latest evidence and guideline recommendations to address cardio-renal risk in patients with T2D.
