Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: verify the hypothesis whether the administration of Liraglutide is able not only to improve glycemic control but also energy metabolism and function of the left ventricle (LV) in patients with type 2 diabetes;Secondary Objective: to identify the pathogenic mechanisms responsible for the potential improvement of left ventricular function during treatment with liraglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes.;Primary end point(s): 20% increase in the ratio PCr / ATP ratio than in Liraglutide Glimepiride study obtained by magnetic resonance spectroscopy 31P.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 months, 4 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 10% increase in ejection fraction compared with Liraglutide Glimepiride obtained by cine cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 months, 4 months | — |
