Sitagliptin Reduces Left Ventricular Mass in Normotensive Type 2 Diabetic Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes, Coronary Artery Disease
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes focused on measuring Type 2 diabetes, left ventricular mass, inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-4
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:Patients had to have the levels of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) > 7.0 %. They also had to have either angiographically documented coronary artery disease or a previous history of myocardial infarction. In addition, they were also required to have an office BP < 135/85 mm Hg and the presence of LVH on echocardiography (American Society of Echocardiography criteria LVM index [LVMI] > 115 g/m2 for men and > 95 g/m2 for women) . -
Exclusion Criteria:Patients were excluded if they were currently prescribed glucagon-like peptide (GLP) -1 analogues or DPP-4 inhibitors or glucosidase inhibitor or anti-hypertensive drugs (including b-blockers), diabetes medications, estrogen supplements, thyroxine, diuretics, hypolipidemic drugs. They were also excluded if they had renal and liver dysfunction, heart failure, or malignancy, or were unable to give informed consent. Patients with contraindications to cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) (pacemakers, claustrophobia) were also excluded, as were pregnant or lactating women. -
