Exclusion criteria: Any person who 1)Has type I diabetes. 2)Requires insulin for blood glucose control (including the conditions such as severe ketosis, diabetic coma or precoma, severe infectious disease, perioperative period, or severe trauma). 3)Had severe renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is less than 45mL/min/1.73m2 or dialysis is required). 4)Has severe hepatic dysfunciton. 5)Has a history of the following disorders within 12 weeks up to the day of the signature;acute coronary syndromes, cerebrovascular disorder, myocarditis, pericarditis constrictiva, or severe valvular disorder. 6)Has heart failure of severity IV according to the categorization by New York Heart Association (NYHA). 7)Body mass index (BMI) is less than 18.5kg/m2 or at malnutrition or starvation state. 8)Has a history of intolerance to the target drug. 9)Is pregnant, breast-feeding, or likely pregnant. 10)Is diagnosed of malignant tumor or so suspected. 11)Is a the age of 85 or older. 12)Is judged inappropriate for the study by the investigators.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in the quantity and rate of keton absorbed by cardiac muscles in the second week of treatment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Improvement in cardiac function in the second week and 6th month of treatment:brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), left ventricular diastolic performance (E/e'), and ejection fraction (EF). 2)Change in Hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c) and blood glucose level from the base line (zero week of treatment). 3)Change in BNP (and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)from the base line (zero week of treatment). 4)Echocardiographic evaluation:E/e',LV mass index, EF, LA volume index. 5)Change in glycometabolism and fatty acid metabolism ove the two weeks of treatment. 6)Change in keton concentration over the two weeks of treatment and its relation to ALDH2 gene polymorphism. 7)Change in vascular endothelial function over the two weeks of treatment. 8)Hemodynamic status by right heart catheter over the two weeks of treatment. 9)Change in troponin T level over the two weeks of treatment. 10)Change in holter electrocardiogram over the two weeks of treatment. 11)Change in renal function over the six months of treatment. | — |
