Forward2021 Recorded Consultant Pharmacist Update- Medication Management for the Older Adult - Dr. McCoy - SGLT-2 Inhibitors for Treatment of Heart Failure and Chronic Kidney Disease
2021- Recorded CE Program Packet - Emily McCoy- Consultant 2021.pdf
Large clinical trials involving patients with type 2 diabetes have shown that sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) reduce the risk of heart failure hospitalizations by 30 to 35% and progression of renal disease by 35 to 50%. These cardiorenal benefits seem to be independent of glucose lowering capabilities by this class of medications. This presentation will evaluate the current evidence for use of SGLT2i in patients with heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) both with and without type 2 diabetes, review pertinent HF and CKD guideline recommendations, and identify patients with HF and CKD who would be appropriate candidates for SGLT2i therapy.
