Clinical Trial Details

Trial ID: L5583
Source ID: NCT00692237
Associated Drug: Sildenafil
Title: Cardiovascular Effects of Chronic Sildenafil in Men With Type 2 Diabetes
Acronym: CECSID
Status: COMPLETED
Study Results: YES
Results: https://ClinicalTrials.gov/show/NCT00692237/results
Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2|Endothelial Dysfunction
Interventions: DRUG: Sildenafil|DRUG: Placebo
Outcome Measures: Primary: Left Ventricular Torsion Defined as Change in Ventricular Mid-wall Rotation (°) Measured by Cine-Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Imaging With Tagging, Before and After Three Months of Treatment With Sildenafil and Placebo (100 mg/Day)., Diabetic cardiomyopathy and hypertrophy are characterized by an increase in cardiac torsion Normal value of rotation are \< 12°; in hypertrophic heart such values can raise up to 20-25°. A reduction in left ventricular wall rotation is a sign of improvement after removal of known causes of hypertrophy (for example after surgical repair of aortic stenosis). Based on previous studies a reduction of 3 degrees (°) is considered clinically significant., 0 and + 3 months | Secondary: Ejection Fraction (EF) Defined as the Volume of Blood Ejected With Each Beat Was Measured on Cine-Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Images Before and After Three Months Treatment With Sildenafil and Placebo (100 mg/Day)., The volume of blood within a ventricle immediately before a contraction is known as the end-diastolic volume; the volume of blood left in a ventricle at the end of contraction is end-systolic volume. The difference between end-diastolic volume and end-systolic volumes is the volume of blood ejected with each beat. Ejection fraction (Ef) is the fraction of the end-diastolic volume that is ejected with each beat; expressed as percentage of EDV. This is a measure of cardiac performance that can be deteriorated in diabetic cardiomyopathy., 0 and + 3 months
