This webinar will provide an update on the role of non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (nsMRAs) in today’s clinical kidney and cardiovascular disease landscape. The webinar will highlight both recent and ongoing clinical trial and real-world findings. Case studies will demonstrate how the recently developed MRA tool can be used in practice to support decisions. The session will also explore how nsMRAs fit into emerging combination therapy strategies.
Learning objectives:
- Review key findings from recent and ongoing finerenone clinical trials.
- Explore the role of nsMRAs within the landscape of combination therapies.
- Consider practical applications of nsMRAs and using the recently developed MRA tool.
Further reading:
- Explore more cardio-kidney resources in the ISN-led cardio-kidney-metabolic initiative toolkits.
This webinar is supported by Bayer
