Clinical Trial: A Comparison Of The Endpoints Of Death From A Cardiovascular Cause and Hospitalization For Worsening Heart Failure, In Patients Who Have NYHA Class II Heart Failure When They Are Treated With Eplerenone Or Placebo In Addition To Standard Heart Failure Med
This study is not yet open for patient recruitment.
Verified by Pfizer November 2005
|
Purpose
In an earlier study, eplerenone was shown to improve survival in patients who had heart failure immediately following a heart attack. However, we do not know how patients with established mild-to-moderate heart failure (NYHA Class II), who have the additional risk of sudden death, will respond if treated with eplerenone. In this trial, eplerenone plus standard heart failure medicines is being compared to placebo plus standard heart failure medicines in terms of an additional ability to prolong life and prevent re-hospitalizations for worsening heart failure in these patients
