Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective (efficacy) is to assess the incidence of sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To assess the incidence of all cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and sudden cardiac death 2. To assess the incidence of ICD-related complications 3. To assess the incidence of non-sustained tachyarrhythmias or slow ventricular arrhythmias 4. To assess the incidence and burden of AF 5. To assess biomarkers (including echocardiography, 6 minute walk test, ECG and other arrhythmogenic markers and blood biomarkers) for adequate ICD therapies 6. To assess biomarkers (including echocardiography, 6 minute walk test, ECG and other arrhythmogenic markers and blood biomarkers) for inadequate ICD therapies 7. To assess biomarkers (including echocardiography, 6 minute walk test, ECG and other arrhythmogenic markers and blood biomarkers) for development of atrial or ventricular arrhythmias 8. To assess biomarkers (including echocardiography, 6 minute walk test, ECG and other arrhythmogenic markers and blood biomarkers) for development of HF hospitalizations and mortality 9. To assess the relation between cardiac amyloid deposition and other biomarkers (including ECG, 6 minute walk test, Holter, echocardiography, CMR and blood biomarkers) and incidence of sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias, incidence of atrial fibrillation, and development of HF hospitalizations, sudden death, arrhythmic death, and all-cause mortality | — |
