What was measured
In a questionnaire, patients responded Yes/No to certain symptoms. If answered Yes, they selected "slightly", "moderately", "quite a bit", or "extremely" regarding how bothersome the symptom was. The proportion of participants responding with any of these three categories was calculated by arm, and corresponding 95% confidence intervals are reported.
Analysis population: We excluded 31 participants who did not have a second time point assessment of echocardiography, resulting in 151 analyzable participants.
