The "Empagliflozin in Cardio-Renal Metabolic (CRM) Management" course offers a comprehensive exploration of the evolving role of Empagliflozin in the management of cardio-renal metabolic conditions. This course places a special emphasis on the landmark EMPA Kidney Study, a pivotal clinical trial that has far-reaching implications for a broad population of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) beyond its initial application in glucose control. By delving into the intricate interplay of cardio-renal-metabolic systems, participants will deepen their understanding of how cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic diseases mutually influence one another. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Heart Failure Updates as discussed during the ESC Conference 2023:
-
- Understand the latest developments and findings presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Conference in 2023 related to heart failure and its implications in cardio-renal metabolic management.
2. Role of Empagliflozin in CKD beyond T2DM:
-
- Examine the extended applications of Empagliflozin in the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) beyond its initial usage for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
3. Cardio-renal metabolic benefits of Empagliflozin:
-
- Analyze the comprehensive cardio-renal metabolic benefits of Empagliflozin, including its effects on cardiovascular health, renal function, and metabolic parameters in various patient populations.
