Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Safety 1. major adverse cardiac event (MACE) (cardiovascular death, sustained ventricular arrhythmia, re-hospitalization for heart failure, new onset of acute cardiovascular syndrome, or cardiac tamponade which needs surgical repair) 2. serious adverse events without major adverse cardiac event 3. adverse event | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Efficacy 1. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 2. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as assessed by the bi-planar modified Simpson method 3. regional wall motion score in infarct area by cardiac MRI 4. infarct volume evaluated by cardiac MRI with late Gd-enhancement | — |
