Overview

Following recent changes to guidelines in light of the publication of Phase III data with SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with HFrEF, with and without type 2 diabetes, this programme brings together a leading faculty to best inform of the latest clinical evidence and real-world application for optimising treatment strategies in heart failure.

 

Prof Martin Cowie (Imperial College London, UK), moderates the proceedings, that comprises a number of insightful presentations and a panel discussion, with contributions from Prof Giuseppe Rosano (St George's Hospitals NHS Trust, London, UK), Dr Javed Butler (University of Mississippi, US), and Dr Shelley Zieroth (University of Manitoba, Canada).
