PHILADELPHIA — In this video exclusive, Javed Butler, MD, MPH, MBA, FACC, FAHA, the Patrick A. Lehan Professor and chairman of the department of medicine at University of Mississippi, emphasizes the importance of heart failure prevention in patients with diabetes.

Butler discusses the increased risk for HF in patients with diabetes, available treatment options and recent data on SGLT2 inhibitors.
