Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Balanced randomisation will be performed using permuted blocks based upon 3 stratification variables at baseline (eg 8 possible strata): (1) age >=65 years (2) ejection fraction >grade 2 (3)diabetes. Random binary digit sequences will be generated using Stata statistical software.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
