Measure basal carotid-femoral Pulse Wave Velocity through a Pulse Pen tonometer by DiaTecne among basic physical examination, blood test, anthropometric and hemodynamic measurements; then administrate randomly dapagliflozin 10 mg, empagliflozin 25 mg or placebo for 7 days and then perform all of the measurements and blood test again.
To date one of the main independent biomarkers of cardiovascular disease is the arterial stiffness parameters measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity. It is known that SGLT2 inhibitors develop cardiac protection over long term administration, but there's not enough studies about acute effects in early administration.
