Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Change in flush rate of 123I-beta-methyl-P-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid(BMIPP) myocardial scintigram Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography(SPECT) from the baseline to week 24 after the start of the treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1)Percent change in flush rate of 123I-beta-methyl-P-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid(BMIPP) myocardial scintigram SPECT from the baseline to the week 24 after the start of the treatment 2)Blood proteomic profile (predicted incidence of 4-year cardiovascular events with 27 proteins based on proteomic analysis results using SomaScan) the items, 3-9 below 3)Personal Health Record(PHR) information (sleep time, exercise (steps or distance traveled), resting heart rate, resting respiratory rate) 4)Blood tests (lipid, liver function, renal function, BNP, carnitine,TMAO, etc.) 5)Blood proteomic profile (proteomic index measured by SomaScan) 6)Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnairea(KCCQ) (overall summary score, clinical summary score, total symptom score) 7)Echocardiogram indices (left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular end-systolic diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, left ventricular end-systolic volume, left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular myocardial weight, left ventricular myocardial weight coefficient, left atrial volume, left atrial volume coefficient, global longitudinal strain, E/e', single cardiac output, cardiac index) 8)MR spectroscopy (MRS) index (Fat to Water ratio in the ventricular septal region) 9)99mTc-Methoxy-Isobutyl-Isonitrile(MIBI) Washout Rate 10)12-lead ECG (rhythm (sinus rhythm /atrial flutter / pacemaker rhythm / others),PR,QRS,QT,QTc,presence or absence of the following findings (atrioventricular block, left ventricular high potential, ST-T change (including negative T wave), left bundle branch block, right bundle branch block, axial deviation, abnormal Q wave) at 24 weeks)
