Description
This presentation explores the link between diabetes and heart failure, two highly prevalent and interrelated chronic conditions. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how diabetes can accelerate the development and progression of heart failure, and the ways in which these conditions interact to worsen patient outcomes. The presentation will also discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms behind this connection and provide evidence-based and effective management strategies for patients with both diabetes and heart failure.
Learning Outcome
The overall goal of this presentation is to enhance participants' ability to identify, understand, and manage the interconnected risks of diabetes and heart failure, enabling them to apply this knowledge in clinical practice to improve patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
• Explain the pathophysiological connection between diabetes and heart failure, including the impact of insulin resistance, inflammation, and metabolic disturbances.
• Identify at least three key risk factors and clinical markers that elevate the likelihood of developing both diabetes and heart failure.
• Outline evidence-based treatment strategies for managing patients with both conditions, highlighting at least two approaches that improve outcomes for individuals with diabetes and heart failure.
Activity Type
This is a knowledge-based learning activity. This
60-minute online session includes a presentation followed by a question-and-answer period.
