Objectif(s) d'apprentissage

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the epidemiological and
    pathophysiological relationship between heart failure, chronic kidney disease
    and type-2 diabetes (T2D)
  • Evaluate the risk or presence of
    cardiovascular and/or kidney disease when selecting treatment protocols for
    managing glycaemia in T2D and glucose-independent mechanisms of disease
  • Implement appropriate management strategies
    for patients with T2D according to current national and international
    management guidelines
  • Consider treatments for T2D which reduce CV
    and renal risk beyond glycaemic control
  • Consider
    long-term patient wellbeing and safety regarding primary prevention of
    cardiovascular disease when selecting diabetes medicines
