Brief summary

Composite primary endpoint - time to first event of all-cause death or worsening HF (defined as worsening signs or symptoms of HF that require an intensification of diuretic therapy or any other intravenous therapy for HF or mechanical ventilatory, renal or circulatory support) or HF readmission (unplanned ambulatory visit or hospitalization due to symptoms of HF through 3 months).
