Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the change in Left Atrial Volume Index (LAVI), measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the treated group vs. the untreated group;Secondary Objective: Change in the level of markers of collagen turnover Change in left ventricular mass index Change in Doppler-Echocardiogaphic markers of diastolic function including LAVI, mitral valve inflow pattern, tissue Doppler signal Change in the level of markers of inflammation ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of this study is the difference in the change in Left Atrial Volume Index (LAVI), measured by MRI in diabetic patients with asymptomatic left ventricular diastolic dysfunction treated with eplerenone and those not treated with eplerenone;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline, 6 months and 12 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Change in the level of markers of collagen turnover Change in left ventricular mass index Change in Doppler-Echocardiogaphic markers of diastolic function including LAVI, mitral valve inflow pattern, tissue Doppler signal Change in the level of markers of inflammation ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline (time 0), 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 months for markers of collagen turnover and inflammatory markers Echo doppler at 0, 6 and 12 months only
