Measure
Sacubitril/Valsartan
24mg/26mg, 49mg/51mg and 97mg/103mg twice daily sacubitril/valsartan: Sacubitril is a prodrug neprilysin inhibitor used in combination with valsartan to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV) and reduced ejection fraction. Used in line with SmPC guidelines. Following randomization the aim should be to up-titrate patients to target study drug dose 97/103mg twice daily after 4 weeks . Slower up-titration was permitted if necessary to ensure patient safety and tolerability. Patients will be allowed to stay at dose level 1 or 2 as maintenance dose however efforts should be made to maintain patients on the target dose level 3 or maximally tolerated dose level for as long a duration as possible during the trial. Adjustments to study drug dose level should be based on safety and tolerability with a focus on a) symptomatic hypotension, b) clinically significant decline in renal function and c) hyperkalaemia.
Valsartan
40mg, 80mg and 160mg twice daily. Valsartan: is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (commonly called an ARB, or angiotensin receptor blocker), that is selective for the type I (AT1) angiotensin receptor. Used within SmPC guidelines. Following randomization the aim should be to up-titrate patients to target study drug dose 160mg twice daily after 4 weeks . Slower up-titration was permitted if necessary to ensure patient safety and tolerability. Patients will be allowed to stay at dose level 1 or 2 as maintenance dose however efforts should be made to maintain patients on the target dose level 3 or maximally tolerated dose level for as long a duration as possible during the trial.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and 12 months

Population: There were 3 patients with incomplete data (1 death and 2 did not tolerate the MRI scan) accounting for the difference in overall number of participants randomised to those analyzed.
