The Cardio Renal Summit – 2025 is a virtual, two‑day continuing professional development (CPD) forum that brings together distinguished cardiology, nephrology, and endocrinology specialists from across the globe. Through live faculty commentaries, real‑world patient cases, and audience‑driven polling, the programme traverses the entire cardiorenal continuum—from early risk recognition to evidence‑based intervention—emphasizing the emerging role of SGLT2 inhibitors and the power of multidisciplinary collaboration. Expect an immersive learning experience designed to sharpen clinical judgment, update guideline familiarity, and translate data into tangible patient benefits.
WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
1. Fresh, guideline‑aligned content. Gain first‑hand insight into 2024–2025 updates from ESC, KDIGO, ADA, and ACC concerning cardiorenal risk reduction and the positioning of dapagliflozin.
2. Case‑based mastery. Work through anonymised T2D, CKD, and HF cases, compare your decisions with international peers, and receive faculty feedback in real time.
3. Practical implementation tools. Leave with step‑by‑step algorithms, dosing checklists, and monitoring templates for integrating dapagliflozin into routine care.
4. Multidisciplinary lens. Hear how cardiologists, nephrologists, diabetologists, and pharmacists co‑manage complex patients for optimal outcomes.
5. Accredited CPD points. Secure recognized credits (via Ghana’s Medical and Dental Council) without leaving your workspace.
6. Global networking. Engage with a high‑calibre faculty and colleagues from multiple regions, expanding your professional contacts and perspectives.
EVENT HIGHLIGHTS (SNAPSHOT)
i. Interactive clinical cases: Live polling on diagnostic and therapeutic inflection points in T2D, CKD, and HF.
ii. Anonymised insight reports: Instant group‑level analytics drive discussion of decision patterns and evidence gaps.
iii. Guideline‑update masterclasses: Concise reviews of ESC/KDIGO/ADA guidance and implications for frontline practice.
iv. Dapagliflozin in focus: Efficacy across etiologies, initiation strategies (HFrEF, HFpEF, CKD, T2D), and side‑effect mitigation.
v. Debunking misconceptions: Tackling the “diabetes drug” label and reaffirming the cardiorenal benefits of SGLT2 inhibition.
vi. Multidisciplinary panel forum: Practical tips for coordinated care, early referral, and shared therapeutic accountability.

This forthcoming virtual CPD forum assembles leading cardiologists, nephrologists, and endocrinologists from around the globe to explore the full spectrum of cardiorenal disease through evidence based lectures, interactive real world case discussions, and live polling. Participants will examine the latest international guidelines, assess pivotal dapagliflozin data across T2D, CKD, and heart failure phenotypes, and gain practical algorithms for multidisciplinary implementation of guideline directed medical therapy. The programme’s dynamic structure—combining concise update sessions with anonymised group analytics and faculty moderated Q&A—ensures that every attendee leaves equipped to recognise risk earlier, initiate therapy more confidently, and coordinate care more effectively for improved patient outcomes.
By the end of the summit, participants will be able to:
1. Quantify the epidemiologic and economic impact of cardiorenal syndromes in diverse populations.
2. Interpret pivotal trial data supporting dapagliflozin across T2D, CKD, HFrEF, and HFpEF cohorts.
3. Integrate SGLT2 inhibitors into contemporary guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT).
4. Apply multidisciplinary, patient centred approaches to complex cardiorenal cases.
5. Formulate tailored management plans that address comorbidities and minimise adverse events.
6. Evaluate anonymised case analytics to refine clinical decision making and improve outcomes.
