Studying heart fat in type 2 diabetes
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at the fat around your heart (called epicardial fat) in people with type 2 diabetes. It uses samples and data already collected to learn more about how this fat might affect your health, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at differences in body fat to understand why some people develop type 2 diabetes. You may be asked for blood tests and health information to see if your diabetes risk and body fat patterns are linked.
This study measures immune cells from your blood to find markers (biomarkers) that may explain or predict diabetic cardiomyopathy, a type of heart condition linked to diabetes. You may benefit mainly by being closely monitored and contributing to research that could improve future diagnosis or risk tracking.
This trial uses a low-dose CT scan of the heart’s arteries to measure coronary artery calcification in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to better understand heart calcium buildup and may help improve risk assessment for people with diabetes.
This study looks at heart disease risk and how diabetes medications are used in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors better manage your heart health.
This study looks at how belly fat (visceral fat) relates to heart health in people with type 2 diabetes. You may be asked to attend clinic visits and have some measurements taken; this could help doctors better understand and manage heart risks in diabetes.
This study measures how certain blood “fat” markers relate to blood sugar control and inflammation. It may help researchers understand risk factors for heart disease in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and people preparing for weight-loss surgery.
