Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is a composite of all-cause mortality, hospitalization for heart failure, and a more than 10% decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in absolute terms leading to a LVEF below 50%, which as a binary combined endpoint will be determined at one year follow-up. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Time to first occurrence of all cause mortality or hospitalization for heart failure. - Time to first occurrence of all cause mortality. - Time to first occurrence of hospitalization for heart failure. - Time to first occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) de novo. - The echocardiographic changes in LVEF at one year. - The echocardiographic changes in diastolic (dys-)function at one year. - The occurrence of pacemaker related complications. - Quality of life (QOL), cost-effectiveness analyses (CEA) and budget impact analysis (BIA). The secondary endpoints (other than echocardiographic LVEF change) will be determined at the end of the follow-up period, when the last included patient has reached one year follow-up. The individual follow-up time for patients at this time point will vary with a minimum of one year. | — |
