PHASE3

Brief Summary

This study will assess the impact of sacubitril/valsartan on elevated pulmonary artery (PA) pressures in patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), measured using a pre...

Detailed Description

Fluid overload leading to increased PA pressure is one of the primary causes of HF related hospitalizations in HFpEF. Signs and symptoms of fluid overload are not sensitive enough to reflect early pat...
