They attribute this to cardiologists moving beyond the so-called glucocentric view and focusing on how diabetes therapies might help reduce cardiovascular risk as well. Drs. Januzzi and Inzucchi will also discuss the recent guidelines that now incorporate sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors into clinical pathways.
