NCT ID: NCT02689570 Recruiting - Type 1 Diabetes Clinical Trials

Relation of Visceral Fat and Associated Cytokines With Early Cardiovascular Complications in Type 1 Diabetes.

VISCERA
Start date: June 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Objective: To investigate whether visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and its adipokines contribute to early signs of cardiovascular disease, meaning coronary artery calcifications (CAC) and diastolic dysfunction in type 1 diabetes (T1DM). Research Design & Methods: A cross-sectional study of T1DM patients without a history of cardiovascular disease. CAC and VAT are measured using a CT scan. CAC is scored using the Agatston method. Echocardiography is performed to assess contractile abnormalities. Serum levels of adipocytokines (adiponectin, leptin, IL-6 and TNF-a) are measured using ELISA assays.
