LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Metformin, a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes, is safe for use in treating patients who have both diabetes and advanced heart failure, U.S. researchers say.
Senior author Dr. Tamara Horwich, an assistant professor of medicine in the division of cardiology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, said the study involved 401 patients with an average age of 56, with type 2 diabetes and advanced systolic heart failure.
