Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcome: To evaluate: 1. CV mortality 2. First hospitalization due to HF 3. Composite of all-cause mortality and first HF hospitalization 4. All-cause mortality 5. Safety Endpoints: 1. Occurrence of CV death 2. Occurrence of first HF hospitalization. 3. Occurrence of the composite of death due to all causes or first HF hospitalization. 4. Occurrence of death due to all causes. 5. Occurrence of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and study intervention related AEs will be listed. Tertiary outcome: To evaluate: 1. Titration management (initial titration) 2.
