Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of betablocker nebivolol on heart function in patients treated with anthracyclines.;Secondary Objective: Imaging endpoints: LVEF, Left ventricular diastolic function, myocardial fibrosis, right ventricular systolic function, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, left ventricular end-systolic volume, left ventricular mass. Biomarker endpoints: Serum troponin levels, serum BNP levels. Clinical endpoints: All-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular events, and hospitalization for heart failure ;Primary end point(s): Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) reduction assessed by cardiac MRI at 12 months of follow-up. LVEF reduction is defined as the difference between LVEF at baseline and LVEF at 12 months follow-up.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months follow-up

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Imaging endpoints: LVEF, Left ventricular diastolic function, myocardial fibrosis, right ventricular systolic function, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, left ventricular end-systolic volume, left ventricular mass. Biomarker endpoints: Serum troponin levels, serum BNP levels. Clinical endpoints: All-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular events, and hospitalization for heart failure ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days, 6 months, 12 months
