Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if rosiglitazone treatment improves integrated cardiovascular performance in patients at risk for congestive heart failure. A second aim of this study is to determine if treatment with rosiglitazone decreases intracellular (ectopic) triglyceride (TG) deposition in cardiomyocytes using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, and how changes in intra-myocardial lipid content relate to changes in cardiac structure and function.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • type 2 diabetes mellitus (prior clinical diagnosis and current use of hypoglycemic medical therapy or by new diagnosis according to ADA criteria) with at least one of the following:
  • prior diagnosis of cardiovascular disease (CAD, MI, revascularization, CVA/TIA, carotid or peripheral arterial disease)
  • at least one additional CVD risk factor (smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, albuminuria, family history of premature CAD, or documented hsCRP>3)

Exclusion Criteria

  • treatment with a TZD within prior 6 months
  • documented intolerance to TZD
  • history or evidence of CHF
  • AST/ALT>3X upper limits of normal
