Preventing heart events in people with type 2 diabetes
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a heart-focused prevention approach to lower the risk of cardiac (heart) events in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help by targeting early stress on the heart measured with a specific blood test.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 or older and have type 2 diabetes for at least 6 months
- You can sign consent and follow study visit and medication requirements
- You’re not already on the highest dose of certain heart/BP medicines like ACE/ARB (RAS) drugs or beta-blockers
- Your kidney function is not severely reduced (creatinine must be 2.5 mg/dL or less)
- At the start, your blood pressure and heart rate are not too low (no systolic BP under 100, and no heart rate under 60) with symptoms
- Your heart and heart-blood-vessel tests (ECG/echo) don’t show major existing heart disease

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests an intervention to help adults with type 2 diabetes who have “high-normal” blood pressure (not severely high). If you qualify, you may learn whether this approach improves blood pressure and related health outcomes over time.
This study looks at how newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes affects heart and blood vessel health. Researchers will follow patients over time to understand the relationship between diabetes and cardiovascular risk.
This trial studies how diabetes medicines (GLP-1 and SGLT2, alone or together) affect the heart in people with type 2 diabetes who are at higher cardiovascular risk and have heart failure with preserved pumping function. It may help find safer or more effective ways to reduce heart problems.
This trial tests a wearable chest sensor (called HEMOTAG) to monitor heart events in people with long-standing Type 2 diabetes who also have heart disease or specific diabetes-related complications. The sensor is worn at home for short periods to catch early signs of heart trouble, aiming to improve personalized care.
This study is testing whether a special heart-focused clinic can help people with type 2 diabetes who also have heart or blood vessel problems. If you have both diabetes and a heart condition like prior heart attack, stroke, heart failure, or hard-to-control high blood pressure, this program may support your health.
This trial compares two ways to prevent heart attacks and strokes: one uses a special heart CT scan to guide care, the other uses standard risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol. You may be eligible if you are older (men over 55, women over 65) and have diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome.
