Arm Description
drug: liraglutide (Novo Nordisk, Bagsværd, Denmark); the frequency: Subcutaneous liraglutide were taken daily; duration: 3 months. After admission, the patients were treated with 0.6 mg liraglutide once daily for 1 week, then 1.2 mg liraglutide for another 1 week, and then 1.8 mg liraglutide to the end.
drug: placebo (Novo Nordisk, Bagsværd, Denmark); the frequency: Placebo were taken daily; duration: 3 months. After admission, the patients were treated with 0.6 mg placebo once daily for 1 week, then 1.2 mg placebo for another 1 week, and then 1.8 mg placebo to the end.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
left ventricular ejection fraction measured by 3D echocardiography
The primary efficacy endpoint was the effect of liraglutide on left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF) measured by 3D echocardiography at 3 months.
Secondary Outcome Measures

a change in plasma NT-proBNP levels at 3 months after treatment
a change in 6-minute walk distance
The change in 6-minute walk distance at 3 months after treatment.
differences in the incidences of treatment-emergent adverse events
differences in the incidences of treatment-emergent adverse events at 3 months

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The investigators planned to evaluate the effects of liraglutide on left ventricular function in chronic heart failure patients with type 2 diabetes.
Detailed Description
Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality world wide. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone that regulates plasma glucose, and has direct effects on the cardiovascular system. In our previous study, the GLP-1 analogue liraglutide could improve left ventricular function in patients with acute myocardial infarction. However, the effects of GLP-1 on chronic heart failure patients with type 2 diabetes remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of liraglutide on left ventricular function in chronic heart failure patients with type 2 diabetes.
