Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of patients who report a MARS-5 Score of ≥ 80% related to sacubitril/valsartan at the end of the studyVisit 3, up to 30 weeks

Percentage of patients who report a MARS-5 Score of ≥ 80% related to sacubitril/valsartan at the end of the study will be collected.

The MARS-5 questionnaire consists of five questions measuring non-adherence ranging from "never" (5 points) to "always" (1 points), therefore the score has a range from 5 - 25 points. This score will be transformed to a percentage score so that a patient with 5 points ("always" for all answers) scores 100% whereas a patient with 25 points ("never" for all answers) scores 0%.

Change from baseline in weekly patient activity and quality of life (PA & QoL) questionnaireUp to 30 weeks

It consists of seven questions addressing physical activity and the ability to attend patient's normal life (hobbies, house work, appointments etc) within the last week.

Physical activity is documented as time \[min\] / day of physical activity and time of doing sports \[h\] /week. Ability of attending normal life is ranged in five categories (I fully agree / I agree / neutral / I don't agree / I don't agree at all).

Number of deathsUp to 30 weeks

It covers physical function, clinical symptoms, social function, self-efficacy and knowledge, each with different Likert scaling wording, including limitations, frequency, bother, change in condition, understanding, levels of enjoyment and satisfaction. The score ranges from 0-100, higher scores mean a better outcome
