Name Time Method Main Objective: - To describe the effect of LCZ696 on left ventricular remodeling and myocardial fibrosis assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction and high comorbidity;Secondary Objective: - To describe the effect of LCZ696 on left ventricular remodeling and myocardial fibrosis assessed by novel heart failure biomarker (soluble ST2) in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction and high comorbidity.<br><br>- To assess correlation of novel HF Biomarker with Soc HF biomarkers.<br><br>- To describe the effect of LCZ696 on left ventricular remodeling and myocardial fibrosis assessed by variation from baseline in % of fibrosis and LV Volume;Primary end point(s): - Variation of myocardial fibrosis assessed by changes (from basal to month 12 visit) in quantification of mass of myocardial fibrosis, as identified by delayed contrast-enhancement in cardiac MRI.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Base line and after 12 months treatment
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): -Assessment of change from baseline in heart failure biomarkers: soluble ST2. Correlation with change in fibrosis as assessed by cardiac MRI.<br>-Assessment of change from baseline in SoC heart failure biomarkers: (N- terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and highly-sensitive troponin). Correlation with change assessed with novel biomarker.<br>-Variation from baseline in percentage (%) of myocardial fibrosis and LV Volume according to total myocardium assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: First two endpoints timepoint's: Baseline, 3, 6,9 and 12 months after treatment<br>Third endpoint: Baseline and after 12 months treatment
