metformin and Convalescence

metformin has been researched along with Convalescence in 1 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.

Convalescence: The period of recovery following an illness.

Trial Outcomes

Improvement in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

The primary efficacy parameter of the GIPS-III trial is LVEF measured by cardiac MRI 4 months after randomization, based on an intention-to-treat analysis. It is hypothesized that metformin therapy will result in a higher ejection fraction after 4 months. (NCT01217307)
Timeframe: 4 months

Intervention% of LVEF (Mean)
Metformin53.1
Placebo54.8
