Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To study whether combined selenium/CoQ10 supplementation, on top of standard treatment (guideline-recommended therapy), reduces the composite primary endpoint of repeated HF hospitalizations, urgent HF visits and cardiovascular mortality, compared to placebo, in chronic HF | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To assess whether selenium/CoQ10 reduces all-cause mortality 2. To assess whether selenium/CoQ10 reduces cardiovascular mortality 3. To assess whether selenium/CoQ10 reduces (repeated) HF hospitalizations 4. To assess whether selenium/CoQ10 reduces (repeated) urgent HF visits. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES 1. To assess whether selenium/CoQ10 reduces all-cause hospitalizations 2. To assess whether selenium/CoQ10 reduces unscheduled cardiovascular hospital visits 3. To assess whether selenium/CoQ10 reduces days alive out of hospital of patients 4. To assess side effects (including SUSARs) associated with study supplement 5. To assess the use of the nationwide quality registry infrastructure for heart failure care in The Netherlands | — |
