Effect of 25 and 100 mg spironolactone on quality of life, ejection fraction and readmission in systolic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction in Imam Khomeini hospital in Ahvaz
Design
Clinical trial, parallel group trial with blinded, randomised outcome assessment, a phase 3 trial on 94 patients
Settings and conduct
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of 25 and 100 mg spironolactone on quality of life, ejection fraction and readmission in systolic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ahvaz. Therapeutic effectiveness is measured by echocardiography, Minnesota Questionnaire and 6-MIN Walk test. This triple blind clinical trial is based on the protocol in which neither the participants, nor the researcher nor the data analyzer knows which treatment nor intervention participants are receiving until the clinical trial is over.
