PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Day 180

Population: No statistical analysis performed due to early termination of the study. Study was stopped prior to any subjects reaching a timepoint for efficacy assessment. Safety results were available and recorded in the interim.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Day 180

Population: No statistical analysis performed due to early termination of the study. Study was stopped prior to any subjects reaching a timepoint for efficacy assessment. Safety results were available and recorded in the interim.

Class I: Cardiac disease w/o limitation of physical activity. Class II: Cardiac disease resulting in slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest; ordinary activity results in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea or anginal pain. Class III: Cardiac disease resulting in marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest; less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea or anginal pain. Class IV: Cardiac disease resulting in inability to carry on any physical activity w/o discomfort. Symptoms present at rest. Any physical activity increases discomfort.

Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire assessing how much heart failure affects life during previous month. Three scales measuring physical dimension (8 items, score 0-40), emotional dimension (5 items, score 0-25) and overall score (all 21 items, score 0-105). Eight separate items measure social \& economic impairments included as part of overall score.

Population: No statistical analysis performed due to early termination of the study. Study was stopped prior to any subjects reaching a timepoint for efficacy assessment. Safety results were available and recorded in the interim.

Four global questions classifying improvement or deterioration in heart failure - Since your last clinic vist, has there been any change in activity limitation / symptoms / emotions / overall quality of life, related to your heart failure? Scale -7/very great deal worse, -6 great deal worse, -5 good deal worse, -4 moderately worse, -3 somewhat worse, -2 a little worse, -1 hardly any worse/almost the same, 0 no change, 1 hardly better/almost the same, 2 little better, 3 somewhat better, 4 moderately better, 5 good deal better, 6 great deal better, 7 very great deal better.
