Led by seasoned and highly experienced clinicians from the fields of cardiology and endocrinology, this event offers a platform for participants to gain valuable insights into optimizing patient outcomes through evidence-based approaches. The event will feature two in-depth presentations—one on hypertension and the other on the metabolic benefits of DPP4 inhibitors in managing type 2 diabetes. Each session will include a Q&A to encourage participant interaction and real-time feedback from the facilitators.

WHY YOU SHOULD REGISTER AND JOIN

Healthcare professionals specializing in the management of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases face evolving challenges, from medication choices to patient adherence. This training event provides an opportunity to stay updated on the latest treatment strategies. With expert facilitators guiding the discussions, you will gain deeper insights into the clinical application of ARBs for hypertension and DPP4 inhibitors for diabetes management, all with a focus on improving patient outcomes. The interactive format ensures that your questions and clinical concerns are addressed in real time, allowing for a personalized learning experience. Don't miss out on this opportunity to refine your skills and enhance your practice.

FOCUS PRODUCT: Trajenta

As part of the session, we will explore the metabolic benefits of DPP4 inhibitors in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, with particular attention to Trajenta. Trajenta (linagliptin) offers a clinically proven option for glycemic control without the concern of dose adjustment for renal impairment. This discussion will be embedded within a broader context of diabetes management, ensuring that participants leave with a balanced, patient-centered understanding of the therapeutic landscape.
