Target sample size66
Countries of recruitment
Study typeInterventional
Intervention(s)To divide HFrEF patients into sacubitril/valsartan or control group and to evaluate the impacts of 9 months of sacubitril/valsartan on myocardial myocardial tissue and LV morphology in HFrEF.

Outcome(s)

Primary OutcomeThe change in extracellular volume fraction (ECV) measured by cardiac MRI before and after 9 months of sacubitril/valsartan treatment
Secondary Outcome(1) the change in EF, LV volumes and mass, the rate of change in ECV (2) LV longitudinal global strain, the rate of chages in LV volumes and mass, and myocardial blood flow (3) changes in biomarkers of LV remodelling: soluble suppression of tumourigenicity-2 (ST2), galectin-3, change in neurohormonal levels: NT-proBNP, BNP, ANP, Troponin I (4) change in NYHA functional class and physical function (5) Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score (6) Physical function by maximal cardiopulmonary tests (7) 24-hour ABPM (8) presence or absence of gender differences in the LV remodeling pattern
