About the course
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing worldwide, accounting for around half a billion cases in 2021 alone. In addition, the risk factors for both T2DM and heart failure (HF) commonly overlap, with a magnified risk of HF in individuals with T2DM. This warrants further research into the risk assessment of HF.
Developed in collaboration with 3 regional experts across various specialties, the Heart Failure in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Value of the cardiac biomarker NT-proBNP CME module focuses on the role of NT-proBNP as a predictive biomarker for HF in individuals with T2DM.
