Diabetes drugs may protect the heart by clearing fat
NCT ID NCT03498001
Summary
This study investigated whether a class of diabetes medications called GLP-1 agonists can reduce harmful fat deposits inside the heart muscle of people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers used MRI scans to measure heart fat in 42 adult patients before and after 6 months of starting the medication. The goal was to see if these drugs, already known to help blood sugar, also provide direct protection to the heart.
