The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of alpha-lipoic acid on inflammatory markers and cardiac fibrosis markers in diabetic patients with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy.
Left atrial diameter (LAD), basic left ventricular dimensions (EDD and ESD) and both systolic and diastolic function.
-Measurements of inflammatory markers such as [C-reactive protein (CRP), Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)] and fibrosis markers such as [Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ), Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2)] at the beginning of the study and after 3 months of the study.
Study Outcomes: all patients will be followed up for 3 months for:
conclusion Conclusion, and recommendations will be given.
