Overview
Presented, and recorded, at the ESC in Barcelona, this unique broadcast, ‘SGLT-2 Inhibitors - Another Piece of the Puzzle in Heart Failure’, is centred around the presentation of the latest SGLT-2 inhibition data and how this translates to the treatment of Heart Failure patients.
Radcliffe Medical Education is delighted to introduce the globally renowned faculty. Chaired by Prof Scott Solomon (Boston, US), this session brings together a leading international faculty of Prof John McMurray (Glasgow, UK), Prof Carolyn Lam (Singapore, SG) and Dr Muthiah Vaduganathan (Boston, US) to assess the latest data for SGLT2 inhibitors in heart failure (HF) and how to apply it in real-world practice.
Support Statement
This satellite symposium is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from AstraZeneca who had no involvement in the creation of the content.
Disclosure
In compliance with EBAC guidelines, all speakers/chairpersons participating in this programme have disclosed or indicated potential conflicts of interest which might cause a bias in the presentations. The Organising Committee/Course Director is responsible for ensuring that all potential conflicts of interest relevant to the event are declared to the audience prior to the CME activities.
Terms & Conditions
Radcliffe Education requires contributors to our CME programmes to disclose any relevant financial relationships that have occurred within the past 12 months that could create a conflict of interest. These will be identified in the faculty section if applicable.
The session, ‘SGLT-2 Inhibitors - Another Piece of the Puzzle in Heart Failure’ is accredited by the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology (EBAC) for 1 hour of external CME credits.
Each participant should claim only those hours of credit that have actually been spent in the educational activity. EBAC works according to the quality standards of the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME), which is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).
Through an agreement between the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EBAC External CME credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert EBAC credit to AMA credit can be found on the AMA website.
