Topic
A significant gap persists in the use of biomarkers in clinical decision-making for patients with heart failure. In addition, despite evidence and guidelines for the cardiorenal protective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors, this class of medications is still underused in treating these patients. This program will review the guideline directed medical therapy for patients with heart failure.
