SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

The study is designed to detect an intergroup difference of absolute difference of 10 percentage points (simple difference) in the change in LVEF between the experimental and control group. Ten percent is the change in LVEF that is associated with differing degrees of left ventricular dysfunction, and long-term studies among non-cancer patients have shown that outcomes differ among groups of patients who have LVEF differing by 10%.
