E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
verify the hypothesis whether the administration of Liraglutide is able not only to improve glycemic control but also energy metabolism and function of the left ventricle (LV) in patients with type 2 diabetes |
verificare l'ipotesi se la somministrazione di Liraglutide è in grado di migliorare non solo il compenso glicemico ma anche il metabolismo energetico e la funzione del ventricolo sinistro (VS) nei pazienti con diabete di tipo 2 |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
to identify the pathogenic mechanisms responsible for the potential improvement of left ventricular function during treatment with liraglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes. |
identificare i meccanismi patogenetici responsabili del potenziale miglioramento della funzione ventricolare sinistra durante il trattamento con Liraglutide nei pazienti con diabete di tipo 2. |
