CV mortality is defined as death due to heart failure, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmia, stroke or cerebral vascular accident (CVA), other CV cause (such as aneurysm or pulmonary embolism). Hospitalization due to HF is defined as an overnight stay, or longer, in a hospital environment (emergency room, observation unit or in-patient care, or similar facility including admission to a day care facility) due to HF as the primary reason for hospitalization as determined by the endpoint committee adjudicator.

Full analysis set (FAS) using intent-to-treat (ITT) principle: All randomized participants, followed for mortality, other major endpoints for duration of double blind treatment period, regardless of compliance with study drug and protocol. Here 'N' (Number of Participants Analyzed) signifies those participants who were evaluable for this measure.

First occurrence of CV hospitalization. CV hospitalization is defined as hospitalization due to HF (first or subsequent), acute myocardial infarction, angina pectoris (unstable), cardiac arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation [AF], atrial flutter, supraventricular arrhythmias, or ventricular arrhythmias), stroke/CVA, other CV reasons (such as hypotension or peripheral vascular disease), implantation of a cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with CV event as the primary reason for hospitalization as determined by endpoint committee adjudicator.

First occurrence of implantation of cardiac defibrillator (ICD). ICD is an electronic device capable of monitoring the heart rhythm. When the heart is beating normally, the device remains inactive. If the heart develops a life-threatening tachycardia, the ICD delivers electrical shocks to the heart to terminate the abnormal rhythm and return the heart rhythm to normal.
