Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: This biomedical study will compare the effect of Entresto® and angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor or AT1 receptor of angiotensin II inhibitor on sympathic nervous system activity.;Primary end point(s): Sympathic neural activity as assessed by microneurography by inserting an electrode directly in contact with orthosympathic efferent fibers around fibular nerve;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At the end of the study for each patient : between 3 and 12 weeks; Secondary Objective: - Evaluation of disease severity (NYHA stage) in the two groups at the inclusion and after the treatment period. - Evaluation of impact of treatment and comparator on NTpro-BNP blood serum levels after the treatment in comparaison with inclusion. | — |
