Fig. 3From: Effect of liraglutide on cardiac function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: randomized placebo-controlled trialLV systolic function. Bar graphs of MRI-derived indices of systolic function. Blue bars indicate baseline measurement and red bars follow-up. In the liraglutide group stroke volume decreased, whereas cardiac index remained unchanged because of the increased heart rate. Bpm beats per minuteBack to article page
