Participant Flow

Enrollment took place at five Network centers and their associated satellite facilities between July 8, 2008 and February 28, 2011. The main centers are located in Ohio, Texas, Florida, Minnesota, and Tennessee. Study brochures, patient informational DVDs, and clinical trials.gov were among the tools used for recruitment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured at Baseline and Month 6

Population: Only participants with both baseline and 6 month MRI images available are included. Values reported represent the change in Global EF from baseline to six months.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured at Baseline and Month 6

Population: Only participants with both baseline and 6 month MRI images available are included. One patient was excluded from the analysis due to incomplete signal intensity enhancement data. Values reported represent the change in wall motion over time in the infarct zone from baseline to six months.

One of two calculated values of regional left ventricular function as assessed via cardiac MRI. The infarct zone is defined as the cMRI segments with the largest 2 signal intensity enhancement measures with gadolinium (using a 17-segment model).Values reported represent the change in wall motion over time in the infarct zone from baseline to six months.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured at Baseline and Month 6

Population: Five patients were excluded from analysis due to incomplete signal intensity enhancement data (1) or lack of a signal intensity enhancement signal in the border zone (4). Values reported represent the change in wall motion over time in the border zone of the infarct from baseline to six months.

Two of two calculated values of regional left ventricular function assessed via cardiac MRI. The border zone is defined as those regions adjacent to the infarct zone in which the cMRI signal intensity enhancement were in the 10%-75% range. Values reported represent the change in wall motion over time in the border zone of the infarct from baseline to six months.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured at Baseline and Month 6

Population: All randomized patients were followed for clinical outcomes. However the paucity of events precluded a reliable time to event analysis.

Combined endpoint: first of death, reinfarction, repeat revascularization, and hospitalization for heart failure. This is measured as the number of events by treatment group over the 6 month follow up period.
