An Intervention Trial for Cardiac Neuropathy in Type 1 Diabetes - Clinical Trials for Diabetic Heart Problems

An Intervention Trial for Cardiac Neuropathy in Type 1 Diabetes
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by University of Michigan, April 2007
Sponsors and Collaborators: University of Michigan
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

Information provided by: University of Michigan
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00116207

Purpose
The focus of this project is cardiovascular diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN). DAN affects the nerves that control heart rate and blood flow to the heart in people with diabetes. DAN may cause problems with the rhythm of the heartbeat or decrease blood flow to the heart. Three medications will be tested for their effectiveness in DAN.
