Pioglitazone on Heart Failure in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Participants
Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
Summary
Our goal of the study is to learn the effects of the diabetes medication named Pioglitazone, in type-2 diabetic obese participants with Heart failure. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. To demonstrate that impaired mitochondrial function leading to reduced ATP generation plays a key pathophysiologic role in the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in obese type 2 diabetic (T2D) individuals. 2. To demonstrate that pioglitazone, improves diastolic (as well as systolic) function by improving myocardial insulin sensitivity and by reducing both myocardial and epicardial fat content.
Official title: Pioglitazone, Lipotoxicity, and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)
