Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

change in EQ-5D Questionnaire
health status measured in therms of five dimensions with the 5-level scale from 1-5, corresponding to having no problems and having extreme problems
change in EQ-VAS
visual analogue scale (VAS) of EQ-5D Questionnaire scaled from 0-100, corresponding to the worse and the best health imagined

Secondary Outcome Measures

change in disease specific quality of life
assessment of disease-related QoL using Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) with 7 heart failure domains. Scores of each domain are scaled from 0-100, with 0 corresponding to the worst, 100 the best status.
change in heart rate variability
assessed by Holter monitoring
change in left ventricular end-systolic diameters (in millimeters)
assessed by echocardiographic examination
change in left ventricular end-diastolic diameters (in millimeters)
assessed by echocardiographic examination
change in left ventricular ejection fraction (in percentage)
assessed by echocardiographic examination
change in exercise tolerance
assessed by the distance (in meters) walked on 6-minute walk test
change in metabolic equivalents (METs)
measured as (volume of O2 (ml) consumption/kg/min) / (3.5 ml VO2/kg/min)
change in plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels (in pg/ml)
assessed by blood tests
