Prevention of Heart Failure in Type 2 Diabetes by Exercise Intervention
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Cycling: Exercise on bicycle ergometer
Study summary
Global longitudinal strain emerged as an important predictive marker that could be assessed during echocardiography. It enabled the detection of subclinical myocardial systolic dysfunction, without observable reductions in cardiac output or left ventricular ejection fraction, often years before diabetes induced heart failure. In asymptomatic T2D patients with no history of cardiovascular disease, an impaired global longitudinal strain is a predictor of future adverse left ventricular remodeling and adverse cardiovascular events. Exercise training is a promising intervention to interfere in the diabetes induced heart failure pathophysiology. However, the impact of different exercise modalities (e.g. intensity and volume) on the global longitudinal strain in type 2 diabetes (T2D) is unknown.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- mPAP/CO and mPAP/CO slope — at baseline and 6 months
* Mean pulmonary artery pressure by cardiac output and by cardiac output slope * mPAP/CO slope will be calculated via measurement of LVOTdiameter, LVOT VTI and sPAP at three timepoints during exercise echocardiography. These timepoints are: rest, low intense exercise (HR\<100 before fusion of early and late mitral inflow (E \& A)), and high-intense exercise (RER 1.02-1.05). - Global longitudinal strain (%) — at baseline and 6 months
Cardiac function evaluation by echocardiography at rest
