Abstract

Abstract Background Liraglutide is an antidiabetic agent with cardioprotective effect. The purpose of this study is to test efficacy of liraglutide to improve diabetic cardiomyopathy in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) without cardiovascular disease. Methods Patients with DM2 were randomly assigned to receive liraglutide 1.8 mg/day or placebo in this double-blind trial of 26 weeks. Primary outcome measures were LV diastolic function (early (E) and late (A) transmitral peak flow rate, E/A ratio, early deceleration peak (Edec), early peak mitral annular septal tissue velocity (Ea) and estimated LV filling pressure (E/Ea), and systolic function (stroke volume, ejection fraction, cardiac output, cardiac index and peak ejection rate) assessed with CMR. Intention-to-treat analysis of between-group differences was performed using ANCOVA. Mean estimated treatment differences (95% confidence intervals) are reported. Results 23 patients were randomized to liraglutide and 26 to placebo. As compared with placebo, liraglutide significantly reduced E (− 56 mL/s (− 91 to − 21)), E/A ratio (− 0.17 (− 0.27 to − 0.06)), Edec (− 0.9 mL/s 2 * 10 −3 (− 1.3 to − 0.2)) and E/Ea (− 1.8 (− 3.0 to − 0.6)), without affecting A (3 mL/s (− 35 to 41)) and Ea (0.4 cm/s (− 0.9 to 1.4)). Liraglutide reduced stroke volume (− 9 mL (− 16 to − 2)) and ejection fraction (− 3% (− 6 to − 0.1)), but did not change cardiac output (− 0.4 L/min (− 0.9 to 0.2)), cardiac index (− 0.1 L/min/m 2 (− 0.4 to 0.1)) and peak ejection rate (− 46 mL/s (− 95 to 3)). Conclusions Liraglutide reduced early LV diastolic filling and LV filling pressure, thereby unloading the left ventricle. LV systolic function reduced and remained within normal range. Future studies are needed to investigate if liraglutide-induced left ventricular unloading slows progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy into symptomatic stages. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01761318.

Figures

Fig. 1 Trial profile. Patients were randomized with stratification according to sex and insulin use. One patient in liraglutide group withdrew consent before he ever received study drug. This patient was therefore not included in intention-to-treat analysis. In another patient assigned to liraglutide, withdrawal had taken place upon repeated hypoglycaemic events (on further examination this patient had positive anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibody titer and undetectable c-peptide levels consistent with type 1 diabetes mellitus). In the placebo group, one patient was lost to follow-up because he was in detention. All other patients reached end of study. ITT intention-to-treat

Fig. 4 Pressure-volume relation. The LV filling pressure estimate E/Ea plotted against LV end-diastolic pressure (LVEDV). Liraglutide treatment (squares; blue = baseline, red = follow-up) results in a lower E/Ea and LVEDV, whereas placebo treated patients (circles; blue = baseline, red = follow-up) have higher E/Ea and LVEDV at follow-up then at baseline. Note that the shift in pressure volume curve is in opposite directions for liraglutide versus placebo. There was a tendency towards improved compliance in the liraglutide group

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
