Design and baseline characteristics of participants in the R esearching cardiovascular E vents with a W eekly IN cretin in D iabetes ( REWIND ) trial on the cardiovascular effects of dulaglutide
The aim was to determine the effects of dulaglutide, a synthetic once-weekly, injectable human glucagon-like peptide 1 analogue that lowers blood glucose, body weight, appetite and blood pressure, on cardiovascular outcomes.
