NCT02341534

Brief Summary

The BIO\|GUARD-MI study investigates whether continuous arrhythmia monitoring and the consequent treatment after detected arrhythmias in patients after myocardial infarction with preserved cardiac function, but other risk factors, decreases the risk of major adverse cardiac events.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Percentage of Participants With Major Adverse Cardiac Event (MACE)

    The primary endpoint is defined as death for cardiovascular reasons or unplanned hospitalization for cardiovascular reasons as per study protocol. The time period with regards to the Time-to-Event Outcome Measures starts with the randomization of the patient. All patients will be assessed for Time-to-Event Outcome Measures until formal study termination is announced or until the individual patient meets a drop out criterion in accordance with the study protocol. The study period is estimated 6 years.

    2 years

Secondary Outcomes (13)

  • Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Percentage of Participants With Outcome of Death Due to Any Cause

    2 years

  • Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Percentage of Participants With Outcome of Death Due to Any Cause or Heart Transplantation

    2 years

  • Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Percentage of Participants With Outcome of Cardiovascular Death or Heart Transplantation

    2 years

  • Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Percentage of Participants With Worsening of Heart Failure Requiring Hospitalization or Urgent Visit

    2 years

  • Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Percentage of Participants With an Arrhythmia Resulting in Hospitalization

    2 years

  • +8 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Mean Value of EQ-5D-5L

    From Baseline measurement to 60 months. All data are collected for the period from randomization until official study end or drop-out, for all enrolled patients.
