Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Crossover AssignmentIntervention Model Description: Patients were randomized in a 2 : 1 ratio to receive therapy (VNS ON) or control (VNS OFF) for a 6-month period. The primary endpoint was the change in LVend systolic diameter (LVESD) at 6 months for control vs. therapy, with secondary endpoints of other echocardiography measurements, exercise capacity, quality-of-life assessments, 24-h Holter, and circulating biomarkers.Masking: Double (Participant, Outcomes Assessor)Primary Purpose: Treatment
