In the RAFT trial, 1798 patients were enrolled by February 2009. The primary outcome was death from any cause, and the secondary outcome included a composite of death, heart transplantation, or ventricular assist device implantation. Out of 1798 enrolled patients, 1050 were included in the long-term survival analysis.
