Funding
Open Access funding enabled and organized by Projekt DEAL. This trial was financed by Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss (German Federal Joint Committee) within the project HerzEffekt MV (Funding Code: 01NVF16003). Diagnostic procedures and treatments for NICC and SoC patients were partly covered by the health insurance companies AOK Nordost and TK. The funder/sponsor had no role in the design and conduct of the study; collection, management, analysis, and interpretation of the data; preparation, review, or approval of the manuscript; and decision to submit the manuscript for publication.
