P values are two-sided for each time point comparison based upon comparing the least-squares means calculated from a mixed-model repeated-measures model incorporating baseline value, history of HF decompensation within 12 months, diabetes status, baseline BMI group (<35, ≥35 kg m−2), treatment assignment, time, and treatment × time interaction. No correction was made for multiple hypothesis testing.
