- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to determine whether Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (valsartan) improve the functional (contractile, electrophysiologic) performance of the right ventricle in adult patients with a systemic right ventricle.;Secondary Objective: (1) changes congestive heart failure<br>(2) changes the onset of arrhythmias <br>(3) changes the right ventricular volume<br>(4) changes the peak oxygen consumption<br>(5) changes the serum neurohormone levels<br>(6) changes the quality of life <br>(7) changes the cardiac output and microcirculation<br>(8) changes the number of deaths<br>;Primary end point(s): Change in right ventricular ejection-fraction, determined by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) (valsartan vs. placebo). If CMR is contra-indicated right ventricular ejection-fraction is determined by echocardiography.
