Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of sacubitril / valsartan versus ramipril on left ventricular remodeling and function in ischemic HFmrEF patients. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of sacubitril / valsartan versus ramipril on the change in left ventricular end-systolic volume as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with ischemic HFmrEF after 12 months of treatment.
