Heart Failure Project Groups 3 and 4.
E N D
Heart Failure ProjectGroups 3 and 4 • Among people who self-identify themselves as non-African Americans, does the addition of isosorbidedinitrate/hydralazine (I/H) added to optimized background treatment for participants with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction reduce all-cause mortality as compared to placebo.
Study Rationale • Data from early trials done in men indicate that I/H may be an effect HF treatment. • A trial done in African Americans was stopped early due to a mortality difference favoring I/H. • Use of I/H is not common. • Morbidity and mortality due to HF remains high. • Comparative data on the efficacy of I/H for non-African Americans in the current era of treatments for HF do not exist.

Questions To Consider • Inclusion criteria • Impact of resynchronization therapy on event rates. • Major outcomes to consider • How to conduct the study simply and cost-efficiently (e.g., large, simple trial)
