The Effect of Rosiglitazone on Ischemia-reperfusion-injury Using Annexin A5 Scintigraphy.

Summary

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in diabetic patients due to both a high event rate and a worse outcome. A pharmacological intervention that reduces ischemia-reperfusion-injury would improve the outcome of diabetic patients after a cardiovascular event. In the present study, we will use annexinA5 scintigraphy to address the following hypothesis: Rosiglitazone reduces ischemia-reperfusion-injury in humans with insulin resistance.
