RECORD: Rosiglitazone Evaluated for Cardiovascular Outcomes in oRal agent combination therapy for type 2 Diabetes mellitus

Concerns regarding the cardiovascular safety of thiazolidinediones were reported in earlier studies. RECORD was a study to elucidate the cardiovascular safety of rosiglitazone compared to combination therapy of sulfonylurea + metformin (standard of care)

Thiazolidinediones are associated with an increased risk for heart failure (fluid retention), weight gain, and fractures.
