About this study

Patients with type 2 DM may develop a cardiomyopathy often called diabetic cardiomyopathy which is characterized by left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in early stages

Type 2 DM is associated with various types of subclinical target organ damage resulting in elevated risk of CVD events, moreover there is growing evidence that a prediabetic status, such as impaired fasting glucose is also related to subclinical target organ damage when compared to a group with normal glucose metabolism Diabetes mellitus is a well-studied major risk factor for coronary heart diseases, which is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Another distinct entity of diabetes-related cardiac affection is the diabetic cardiomyopathy. This entity of cardic affection by diabetes still needs more and more attention, not only because it is common in diabetic patients, but also because of its easy detection by the simple, inexpensive and widely available diagnostic echocardiography.

Diabetes mellitus is a well-studied major risk factor for coronary heart diseases, which is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Another distinct entity of diabetes-related cardiac affection is the diabetic cardiomyopathy. This entity of cardic affection by diabetes still needs more and more attention, not only because it is common in diabetic patients, but also because of its easy detection by the simple, inexpensive and widely available diagnostic echocardiography.

The proposed mechanisms that may be implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy include autonomic dysfunction, microvascular disease, interstitial fibrosis and metabolic disorders. However, the actual causes and mechanisms remain unclear.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diastolic Dysfunction, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

percentage of Frequency of asymptomatic left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in diabetes mellitus type 2 (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jun 2017.
