Overview

During this unique broadcast, ‘SGLT-2 Inhibitors - Another Piece of the Puzzle in Heart Failure’, Radcliffe Medical Education brings together a globally-renowned faculty to participate in a discussion centred around the presentation of the latest SGLT-2 inhibition data and how this translates to the treatment of Heart Failure patients.

 

Presented, and recorded, at ESC Congress 2022 in Barcelona, this programme is now available to watch on-demand. The programme is chaired by Prof Scott Solomon (Boston, US), who is joined by Prof John McMurray (Glasgow, UK), Prof Carolyn Lam (Singapore, SG) and Dr Muthiah Vaduganathan (Boston, US) while they explain how to assess the latest data for SGLT2 inhibitors in heart failure (HF) and how to apply it in real-world practice.
