Baseline characteristics by cohort
Measure
Diabetic Group Without Metformin Therapy
n=41 Participants
Authors will include a population of T2DM patients with advanced heart failure and treated by heart transplant. 41 patients recluted from January 2015 patients treated by HTx: From removed and frozen hearts, authors will conduct a tissue and molecular analysis of possible mechanisms T2DM linked.
Diabetic Group With Metformin Therapy
n=35 Participants
Authors will include a population of T2DM patients with advanced heart failure and treated by heart transplant in metformin therapy. 35 patients recluted from January 2015 patients treated by HTx: From removed and frozen hearts, authors will conduct a tissue and molecular analysis of possible mechanisms T2DM linked.
Non-diabetic Patients
n=82 Participants
Authors will include a population of non-diabetic patients with advanced heart failure treated by heart transplant. 82 patients recluted from January 2015 patients treated by HTx: From removed and frozen hearts, authors will conduct a tissue and molecular analysis of possible mechanisms T2DM linked.
