Effects of 6 weeks of treatment with dapagliflozin, a sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 inhibitor, on myocardial function and metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes: A randomized, placebo‐controlled, exploratory study

Aim To explore the early effects of dapagliflozin on myocardial function and metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes without heart failure. Materials and Methods Patients with type 2 diabetes on metformin treatment were randomized to double‐blind, 6‐week placebo or dapagliflozin 10 mg daily treatment. Investigations included cardiac function and structure with myocardial resonance imaging; cardiac oxygen consumption, perfusion and efficiency...
