Title
A Composite Endpoint of Cardiac Complications (Other Than MI) at 90 Days Post-randomization: Cardiac Complications Include New Cardiac Arrhythmias That Necessitate New Treatment, New or Worsening Congestive Heart Failure, and Non Fatal Cardiac Arrest
Description
The diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias will be based on EKG findings. Only arrhythmias that result in initiation of new treatment regimen (to include medications, implantable devices, or surgical intervention) during hospitalization will be recorded.~CHF will require at least one of the following symptoms or signs new or worsening: dyspnea at rest, orthopnea, or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea and radiological evidence of heart failure or worsening heart failure and increase/initiation of established treatment.~Cardiac arrest will be defined as the cessation of cardiac pump function activity that results in loss of consciousness and absence of circulating blood flow as evidenced by absent carotid pulse. Only episodes of cardiac arrest that are reversed will be collected under this endpoint. If they are not reversed the event will be categorized as death.
