Does 6-month treatment with liraglutide improve arterial stiffness, left ventricular myocardial deformation, and oxidative stress in subjects with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes?
Liraglutide treatment for 6 months improves surrogate markers of cardiovascular health, including arterial stiffness and LV myocardial strain, in newly diagnosed T2DM.
