About this study

Official title: Effects of Liraglutide on Hemodynamic Parameters in Patients With Heart Failure

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone that regulates plasma glucose, and GLP-1 analogues were recently introduced for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. The investigators planned to evaluate the effects of liraglutide on haemodynamic parameters in patients with heart failure.

Read the detailed description

Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality world wide. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone that regulates plasma glucose, and has direct effects on the cardiovascular system. In our previous study, the GLP-1 analogue liraglutide could improve left ventricular function in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. However, the effects of GLP-1 on HF patients remain unclear. Pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) technology is a combination of transpulmonary thermodilution and pulse contour analysis, which measures hemodynamic variables (left ventricular ejection fraction, volumes, and mass) in a fast and feasible way. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of liraglutide on hemodynamic variables in HF patients using the PiCCO system.

Study groups in NCT02490176
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
GLP-1 groupExperimentaldrug: liraglutide (Novo Nordisk, Bagsværd, Denmark); the frequency: Subcutaneous liraglutide were taken daily; duration: 7 days. After admission, the patients were treated with 0.6 mg liraglutide once daily for 2 day, then 1.2 mg liraglutide for another 2 day, and then 1.8 mg liraglutide for 3 days.
Receives: Drug: liraglutide
Control groupPlacebo comparatordrug: placebo (Novo Nordisk, Bagsværd, Denmark); the frequency: Placebo were taken daily; duration: 7 days. After admission, the patients were treated with 0.6 mg placebo once daily for 2 day, then 1.2 mg placebo for another 2 day, and then 1.8 mg placebo for 3 days.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. a change in cardiac output measured by pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) technology

    The primary efficacy endpoint was the effect of liraglutide on cardiac output (CO) at 7 days compared with placebo.

    Measured: 7 days after treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. a change in left ventricular contractile index measured by PiCCO technology

    The change in left ventricular contractile index was measured at 7 days after treatment.

    Measured: 7 days after treatment
