Outcomes in Multi-Morbid Heart Failure
Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
|
Note:This satellite symposium is not part of the scientific program as planned
by the Heart Failure Society of America Program Committee. Accredited Sponsor: 
Program Overview: Although diabetes and heart failure (HF) are each individually associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, they often occur together, which further worsens adverse patient outcomes, quality of life, and costs of care. Recent data from diabetes cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) have underscored that HF is a critical outcome in patients with diabetes and suggest that glucose-lowering medications--sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors--may reduce the risk of HF development and progression. In addition, beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on renal outcomes have been demonstrated. HF data from CVOTs with SGLT2 inhibitors have led to the recent publication of a scientific statement from the AHA and HFSA indicating the preferred use of SGLT2 inhibitors, with the traditional agent metformin, in patients at high risk for HF and those with established HF. In this program, experts will describe the relationship between diabetes and HF, interpret HF data and renal endpoint data from clinical trials involving glucoselowering medications, describe potential mechanisms for HF and renal benefits associated with SGLT2 inhibitors, and identify ongoing clinical studies. |
