Target Audience
This continuing medical education activity should be of substantial interest to endocrinologists, endocrine fellows, and healthcare professionals who treat patients with diabetes.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be better able to:
- Summarize the most recent guideline recommendations for screening for coronary artery disease in T2D including specific goals in reducing risk factors and appropriate biochemical targets
- Evaluate the benefits of statin therapy in patients to reduce CV risk taking into consideration recently described associations with new onset T2D
- Describe the cardiovascular safety of new medications for glycemic control
- Describe the mechanism of action of SGLT-2 inhibitors on kidney, liver, and vascular systems
- Understand the efficacy and safety results of the EMPA-REG Outcome trial and the questions it raises about the potential benefits and risks of empagliflozin and other SGLT-2 inhibitors in people with T2DM, with or without CVD
