Presented by Muthiah Vaduganathan, MD, MPH and Nosheen Reza, MD, MS. In this activity, experts in cardio-kidney-metabolic syndrome (CKM) discuss emerging evidence on nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (nsMRAs) and practical strategies for incorporating these therapies into care for patients with heart failure, with or without chronic kidney disease (CKD) or type 2 diabetes (T2D). Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Specify the rationale for nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (nsMRAs) as treatment for adult patients with HF, with or without CKD or T2D; Differentiate the risk-benefit profiles between nsMRAs and the current standard of care for the treatment of HFmrEF or HFpEF, based on the available evidence; and Recommend patient-centered, long-term care strategies to integrate nsMRAs into clinical practice for patients with HF, with or without overlapping CKD or T2D.

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Review the limitations of current treatment strategies for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in type 1 diabetes (T1D); Identify the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying CKD in patients with T1D; and Assess current and emerging treatment strategies for their potential to improve cardiorenal outcomes in patients with T1D.
