Effect of pioglitazone and empagliflozin on hemodynamics and echocardiographic indices
Systolic blood pressure was reduced by 3.57 The reduction of the E/e’ ratio was not significant in the pioglitazone group: 9.76 
Hemodynamics and Echocardiographic Indices at Baseline and by week 24A, A wave; DT, deceleration time; E, E wave; e’, e’ wave; EF, ejection fraction; E/A, E to A ratio; GLS, global longitudinal strain; IVRT, Isovolumic relaxation time; LA, left atrium; LAVi, left atrium volume index; LV, left ventricle; PAP, pulmonary artery pressure*Between-group difference from baseline, P value < 0.05 is considered as significant.
