SGLT2 Inhibitors in Cardiovascular Disease – Who, What, When, Where, and Why?

Overview

This presentation will review the literature describing the use of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The presentation will help learners to identify which patients are most likely to benefit from treatment, anticipate patient-specific barriers, and promote optimal patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify patients most likely to benefit from SGLT2 Inhibitors
  • Describe the benefits of SGLT2 Inhibitors beyond glucose lowering in patients with diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or heart failure
  • Anticipate common risks for a patient taking SGLT2 Inhibitors
  • Develop a plan for monitoring outcomes in patients taking SGLT2 Inhibitors
