Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
First Event of Cardiovascular Mortality, Re-hospitalization or Extended Initial Hospital Stay Due to Diagnosis of Heart Failure, Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia or Fibrillation, Ejection Fraction ≤40% or BNP Above Age Adjusted Cut Off0-24 months

Cardiovascular mortality is defined as any mortality adjudicated as death due to sudden cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), worsening heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, other cause (such as pulmonary embolism, peripheral arterial disease \[PAD\], etc.). Hospitalization due to congestive heart failure (CHF) and requires extended hospital stay or frequent visits to emergency room, observation unit or in-patient care, due to CHF as the primary or secondary diagnosis supported by a discharge report or clinical summary for hospitalization as determined by the endpoint adjudication committee (EAC). A composite of time to first event of cardiovascular mortality (CV), re-hospitalization or extended initial hospital stay due to diagnosis of heart failure, sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, ejection fraction ≤40% after 1 month or BNP \>200 pg/mL or NT-proBNP \>450 pg/mL (age \<50 years); \>900 pg/mL (age 50 to 75 years) or \>1800 pg/mL (age \>75 years) after 1 month.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Diagnosis of Heart Failure0-24 months

The occurrence of first diagnosis of heart failure from the date of randomization. Time-to-event analyses were measured from the date of randomization, and a subject who did not experience the endpoint(s) of interest was censored on the last day the subject was confirmed by the investigator to be endpoint-free. The time-to-event distributions were summarized by treatment group using Kaplan-Meier estimates of cumulative incidence.

Brain (B-type) Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) >200 pg/mL or NT-proBNP >450, >900 or >1800 pg/mL for Ages <50 Years, 50-75 Years and >75 Years, Respectively (Recorded 1 Month or Later Post-randomization).0-24 months

The occurrence of first occurrence of BNP \>200 pg/mL or NT-proBNP \>450, \>900 or \>1800 pg/mL for ages \<50 years, 50 to 75 years and \>75 years, respectively (recorded 28 days or later post-randomization). Time-to-event analyses were measured from the date of randomization. A subject who did not experience the endpoint(s) of interest was censored on the last day the subject was confirmed by the investigator to be endpoint-free. The time-to-event distributions were summarized by treatment group using Kaplan-Meier estimates of cumulative incidence.

Electrocardiogram Q Wave to the End of the S Wave Corresponding to Ventricle Depolarization (QRS) Duration at 6 Months Post-randomization.6 months

Electrocardiogram Q wave to the end of the S wave corresponding to ventricle depolarization (QRS) duration at 6 months post-randomization. The continuous endpoints were assessed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model, fitted with corresponding baseline and treatment. These were analyzed at 6 months based on last observation carried forward (LOCF) and also using all available data up to end of study.

Cardiovascular Mortality0-24 months

The occurrence of cardiovascular mortality from randomization. Time-to-event analyses were measured from the date of randomization. A subject who did not experience the endpoint(s) of interest was censored on the last day the subject was confirmed by the investigator to be endpoint-free. The time-to-event distributions were summarized by treatment group using Kaplan-Meier estimates of cumulative incidence.

Change in Serum Levels of Biomarkers (PIIINP, Galectin 3, and PINP) at 6 Months Post-randomization.6 months

Change in serum levels of PIIINP, Galectin 3, and PINP at 6 months post-randomization. The continuous endpoints were assessed using ANCOVA model, fitted with corresponding baseline and treatment. These were analyzed at 6 months based on LOCF and also using all available data up to end of study.

First and Each Subsequent Episode (After an Event Free Interval of ≥ 48 Hours) of Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia or Ventricular Fibrillation.0-24 months

The occurrence of first and each subsequent episode (after an event-free interval of ≥ 48 hours) of sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Time-to-event analyses were measured from the date of randomization. A subject who did not experience the endpoint(s) of interest was censored on the last day the subject was confirmed by the investigator to be endpoint-free. The time-to-event distributions were summarized by treatment group using Kaplan-Meier estimates of cumulative incidence.

First Recorded Ejection Fraction (EF) of ≤40% (Recorded 1 Month or Later Post-randomization).0-24 months

The occurrence of first recorded EF ≤40% (recorded 28 days or later post-randomization). Time-to-event analyses were measured from the date of randomization. A subject who did not experience the endpoint(s) of interest was censored on the last day the subject was confirmed by the investigator to be endpoint-free. The time-to-event distributions were summarized by treatment group using Kaplan-Meier estimates of cumulative incidence.

Change in Serum Level of Biomarker (Interleukin-6) at 6 Months Post-randomization.6 months

Change in serum level of Interleukin-6 at 6 months post-randomization. The continuous endpoint was assessed using ANCOVA model, fitted with corresponding baseline and treatment. It was analyzed at 6 months based on LOCF and also using all available data up to end of study.

Decision to Provide an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT).0-24 months

The decision to provide an ICD or CRT. Time-to-event analyses were measured from the date of randomization. A subject who did not experience the endpoint(s) of interest was censored on the last day the subject was confirmed by the investigator to be endpoint-free. The time-to-event distributions were summarized by treatment group using Kaplan-Meier estimates of cumulative incidence.

Second or Subsequent Non-fatal Myocardial Infarction (MI).0-24 months

The occurrence of second or subsequent nonfatal MI. Time-to-event analyses were measured from the date of randomization. A subject who did not experience the endpoint(s) of interest was censored on the last day the subject was confirmed by the investigator to be endpoint-free. The time-to-event distributions were summarized by treatment group using Kaplan-Meier estimates of cumulative incidence.

Left Atrial Diameter (LAD) (Recorded on Each Occasion an Echocardiogram is Conducted).0-24 months

LAD recorded each time an echocardiogram is conducted. The continuous endpoints were assessed using ANCOVA model, fitted with corresponding baseline and treatment. These were analyzed at 6 months based on LOCF and also using all available data up to end of study.

Change in Serum Levels of Biomarkers (Aldosterone and Cortisol) at 6 Months Post-randomization.6 months

Change in serum levels of aldosterone and cortisol at 6 months post-randomization. The continuous endpoints were assessed using ANCOVA model, fitted with corresponding baseline and treatment. These were analyzed at 6 months based on LOCF and also using all available data up to end of study.

Change in Serum Level of Biomarker (ICTP) at 6 Months Post-randomization.6 months

Change in serum level of ICTP at 6 months post-randomization. The continuous endpoint was assessed using ANCOVA model, fitted with corresponding baseline and treatment. It was analyzed at 6 months based on LOCF and also using all available data up to end of study.
