Overview
First presented at EASD 2024, this on-demand programme sees Prof Hiddo Heerspink lead a distinguished faculty comprising of Prof Carel le Roux and Prof Ildiko Lingvay.
This symposium features vital discussions on the effects of GLP-1–weight loss mediated versus direct action and the mechanistic synergies of the actions of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists on organ function.
Date of Prep: September 2024
Z4-69899
Key Learning Objectives
- Understand the different mechanisms by which GLP-1 agonists achieve their beneficial effects including weight loss, glycaemic control and direct receptor activation
- Appreciate the mechanisms by which GLP-1 agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors protect major organs
- Understand how the mechanistic synergies of combination therapy with a GLP-1 receptor agonist plus an SGLT2 inhibitor may improve treatment outcomes
Target Audience
- General Cardiologists
- Primary Care Physicians
- Diabetologists
- Endocrinologists
