The 2026 Consensus Statement on the Algorithm for Management of Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: Heart Failure Management (Episode 5)

In this episode, we review the 2026 Consensus Statement algorithm for heart failure management in adults with Type 2 Diabetes. Topics include the foundational role of SGLT2 inhibitors, heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction, and evidence based pharmacologic therapy. We discuss dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, sotagliflozin, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and the role of semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide in different heart failure phenotypes. We also review medications that may worsen heart failure, including thiazolidinediones and selected DPP-4 inhibitors, therapeutic priorities for reducing hospitalization and cardiovascular mortality, and board relevant treatment recommendations, key clinical trials, and high yield facts to remember for exam preparation and clinical practice.
