Overview
Following the release at ESC 2021 of updated guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure, Prof Andrew Coats (Monash University, Australia and University of Warwick, UK) and Prof Giuseppe Rosano (St George's, University of London, UK) discuss the implications for treatment strategies.
This three-part series provides comprehensive update on some of the most important developments in HFrEF management including addressing key considerations of where SGLT-2 inhibitors fit into the new guidelines for HFrEF, when and how to initiate SGLT-2 inhibitors, and making evidence-based choices in the selection of SGLT-2 inhibitor.
Learning Objectives
- Recall the latest recommendations and levels of evidence supporting the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors in heart failure (HF)
- Consider the impact of delaying the adoption of all guideline-directed foundational therapies in existing HF
- Make an evidence-based choice when selecting an SGLT-2 inhibitor in HF
Target Audience
- Heart failure specialists
- Cardiologists
- Referring physicians
- Allied health professionals
