Abstract:Objective:Endothelial dysfunction seems to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and related complications among high-risk patients, such as those suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Herein, we sought to determine whether SGLT-2 inhibitors provide a significant effect on endothelial functi… Show more
