•Signed, written informed consent
•Males or females
•Age = 18 years
•Diagnosed Diastolic Heart Failure according to the ESC guidelines (1)Signs or symptoms of heart failure, 2)Normal or mildly abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), 3)Evidence of diastolic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction)
•PIP = 110 ng/ml or PIP = 70 ng/ml if left atrial volume (LAV) > 29 ml/m²
•Diabetes type II
•Women of childbearing potential must test negative for pregnancy and must agree to use a highly effective contraceptive method (defined as pearl index < 1) during the trial period.
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 8
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 32
•Women during the lactation period, pregnant or of childbearing potential not using an effective contraceptive method

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether torasemide is superior to furosemide in reducing one marker (PIP) of cardiac fibrosis in subjects with diastolic heart failure and diabetes type II.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives of this trial are to determine whether torasemide is superior to furosemide in improving exercise capacity and diastolic function, as well as quality of life, neuroendocrine activation in subjects with diastolic heart failure and diabetes type II. <br>The trial also investigates clinical safety aspects.<br>;Primary end point(s): Change in serum concentration of serum carboxy-terminal peptide of procollagen type I (PIP) at 9 months compared to baseline;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at 9 months compared to baseline
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): •Change in exercise capacity (peak VO2 on spiroergometry, 6-minutes walking distance) at 9 months <br>•Change in echocardiographic parameters of diastolic function<br>•(E/A, E/E´, EDT, IVRT, S/D, AR, Vp, PVARdur, Adur, Tei-Index, LV mass, LA-area) at 9 months <br>•Change in heart failure status (NYHA, signs and symptoms) at 9 months <br>•Change in neuroendocrine activation (natriuretic peptides) at 9 months <br>•Change in quality of life at 9 months <br>•Clinical tolerability of trial medication will be assesses at all visits.<br>•Change in laboratory parameter (CRP) at 9 months <br>;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at 9 months compared to baseline<br>tolerability: at all visits
