metformin and Cardiac Diseases

metformin has been researched along with Cardiac Diseases in 28 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.

"Recent data suggest that type 2 diabetes patients who are considered as being "at risk" because of the presence of cardiac disease still take benefit from metformin therapy, with a reduction of morbidity and mortality compared with other glucose-lowering agents."2.49[Use of metformin in diabetic patients with cardiac disease: benefit-risk balance].
