Model for all-cause mortality or all-cause hospitalization adjusted for baseline KCCQ score, randomized treatment assignment, dosage of beta-blocker, KCCQ symptom stability, ejection fraction (LVEF), country (US vs non-US), sex, ventricular conduction, Weber class, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and mitral regurgitation.

Model of all-cause mortality adjusted for baseline KCCQ score, randomized treatment assignment, sex, body mass index, loop diuretic dose, creatinine, exercise duration, ventricular conduction, Canadian Cardiovascular Society angina classification, and LVEF.
