---|---|
Experimental: Beta-blocker therapy
This is a strategy (pragmatic) trial. In patients allocated to "Beta-blocker therapy", beta blocker agent and dose are decided by treating physician. betablocker therapy chosen might be any of the following: atenolol bisoprolol carvedilol metoprolol nebivolol |
Drug: Beta blocker
long-term maintenance beta-blocker therapy
Other Name: atenolol, bisoprolol, carvedilol, metoprolol, nevibolol. |
No Intervention: Control (no beta-blocker therapy).
Do not receive beta -blocker therapy

- Incidence rate of the composite of "all-cause death, nonfatal reinfarction, or heart failure hospitalization" (MACE) [ Time Frame: 24-36 months since the beginning (median follow up anticipated 2.75 months) ]
absolute number of patients experiencing deaths will be added to number of patients experiencing a non fatal reinfarction and to number of patients experiencing heart failure hospitalization.
If a patient experience more than one of these events, only first event will be added for the sum of events
EXAMPLE events in arm 1: 150 deaths+150 reinfarctions+150 heart failure hospitalizations= TOTAL 450 MACE (450 events/4234 patients enroled: event rate 10.63%)
- 1) Incidence rate of individual components of the primary outcome. 2) Incidence rate of cardiac mortality. [ Time Frame: 24-36 months since the beginning (median follow up anticipated 2.75 months) ]
absolute number of events (% from total patients recruited) of the components of the MACE (eg number of all cause deaths (% from patients included) in active arm vs control).
First event of each individual component counts for secondary outcome.
EXAMPLE all cause death events in in arm 1: 200 deaths (200 events/4234 patients enroled: event rate 4.72%).
nonfatal reinfarctions in in arm 1: 150 reinfarctions (150 events/4234 patients enroled: event rate 3.54%).
note that in the example of the primary outcome, only 150 deaths are counted and for the secondary outcome 200. This is because in this hypothetical case, 50 deaths occurred in patients who previously experienced a nonfatal reinfarction
- 1) Incidence of subsequent revascularizations. 2) Incidence of ICD (including CRT) insertion. [ Time Frame: 24-36 months since the beginning (median follow up anticipated 2.75 months) ]
absolute number of events (% from total patients recruited) in each treatment arm experiencing any of the components of the MACE.
First event of each individual component counts for secondary outcome.
