Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this trial is to test if 18 weeks of treatment with liraglutide (up to 1.8 mg s.c. once daily) improves (or worsens) diastolic performance in T2DM patients with diastolic dysfunction, compared to placebo.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of this trial are to evaluate whether 18 weeks of treatment with liraglutide (up to 1.8 mg s.c. once daily) improves (or worsen) myocardial perfusion and echocardiographic indices of diastolic dysfunction in T2DM patients with diastolic dysfunction, compared to placebo.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoints will be change in diastolic properties as assessed by cardiac MRI: •LA passive emptying fraction (%) •LV peak filling rate (LVPFR) (ml/s) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Measured during week 18 (on medication, placebo/liraglutide) and compared to baseline (before placebo/liraglutide treatment is started)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary endpoints consist of changes in: • MRI indices of myocardial perfusion • echocardiographic indices of diastolic dysfunction;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Measured during week 18 (on medication, placebo/liraglutide) and compared to baseline (before placebo/liraglutide treatment is started)
