Heart ultrasound to assess right heart function in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to check how well the right side of the heart is working in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to see if these measurements can help predict future health, which could lead to better monitoring and care for diabetes patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must have type 2 diabetes.
- You must not have heart disease, including coronary artery disease, heart valve problems, irregular heartbeats, cardiomyopathy, or congenital heart defects.

This trial tests a special software (Ultromics EchoGo) that looks at your heart ultrasound to find people with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk for heart failure. If you're at risk, the software helps your doctor decide on treatments to prevent heart failure.
This study looks at how well controlling blood sugar affects heart function in people with type 2 diabetes who also have heart disease. It may help show if better blood sugar management can improve heart health.
This study looks for early, “silent” changes in heart function in adults with type 2 diabetes, even if you feel okay. It uses heart scans and looks for factors that may help explain why these changes happen.
This study looks at how diabetes may affect the heart's ability to relax and pump blood, and whether this relates to early kidney damage. If you have type 2 diabetes, or if you are healthy, you may be able to help by joining.
This study looks at blood tests (called biomarkers) to see if they can help predict chronic heart failure risk. It focuses on adults with type 2 diabetes over age 50 who do not already have certain heart conditions.
This study tests whether a procedure that helps with weight loss can also improve heart health in people who have diabetes and heart-related conditions. It may help reduce the risk of future heart problems.
