Study aim
-
Evaluation of the effect of sacubitril valsartan on lv remodelling In patients with ischemic heart failure by 2D volumetry assessment
-
Design
-
Clinical trial without a control group, community-based and practice-oriented, parallel groups, without blinding, randomized, phase 2 on 92 patients (46 people receiving valsartan drug and 46 people receiving sacubitril valsartan drug). A simple randomization method was used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
To investigate the effect of valsartan sacubitril on LV remodelling in patients with ischemic heart failure using the 2D volumetric assessment method, patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease who are refered to Imam Khomeini Hospital and Golestan Ahvaz are randomly divided into two groups. The first group will receive valsartan and the second group will receive sacubitril valsartan. Also, the study is done without blinding.
