Peripheral and Coronary Endothelial Dysfunction In Type 2diabetic Patients- Role of Metformin

October 4, 2007 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

The DIAMET Study: Peripheral and Coronary Endothelial Dysfunction in Type 2diabetic Patients- Evaluation of Reversibility Following 3 Months of Metformin Treatment

Peripheral and coronary endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetic patients may be influenced by therapeutics. Using Radial flow monitoring and myocardial perfusion magnetic resonance imaging, we designed a controlled randomized double blind study to test the hypothesis that endothelial dysfunction will be reversed following 3 months of Metformin administration vs gliclazide. 30 patients will be included.
