Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 45 with heart failure due to coronary artery disease. They must have a history of heart issues like a past heart attack or surgery, symptoms matching NYHA class II-IV, and reduced heart function (LVEF ≤ 45%) documented in the last year. Both outpatients and stable hospitalized patients can join if they meet certain stability criteria.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether colchicine or thiamine reduces cardiovascular death or events in ischemic heart disease-related failure. Participants first try colchicine for tolerance, then are randomly assigned to get either colchicine or placebo, and thiamine or no supplement.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Colchicine may cause gastrointestinal problems, blood disorders, muscle pain, and weakness. Thiamine is generally safe but could cause allergic reactions or irritation where injected if not taken orally.
