Study Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of LCZ696 compared to valsartan in the reduction of cardiovascular death and heart failure(HF) hospitalizations in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction.

Primary Outcome

The primary objective of this study is to compare LCZ696 to valsartan in reducing the rate of the composite endpoint of CV death and total (first and recurrent) HF hospitalizations, in HF patients (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class II-IV) with preserved ejection fraction (left ventricular ejection fraction \[LVEF\] ≥45%). The treatment arm with the lower rate of events will be deemed as having a successful response.

Interventions

  • DRUG Valsartan
  • DRUG LCZ696
