Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Current acute decompensated HF requiring augmented therapy with diuretics, vasodilators and/or inotropic drugs. 2. Acute coronary syndrome (including myocardial infarction (MI)), cardiac surgery, other major cardiovascular (CV) surgery, or urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), carotid surgery or carotid angioplasty, history of stroke or transient ischemic attack within the 3 months prior to Screening visit or an elective PCI within 30 days prior to Screening visit. 3. Patients with history of hereditary or idiopathic angioedema or angioedema related to previous angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) therapies. 4. Patients who require treatment with 2 or more of the following: an ACEi, an ARB or a renin inhibitor. 5. Patients with one of the following: a.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary end point(s): Change from baseline to 3 years in the CogState Global Cognitive Composite Score (GCCS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline to 3 years ;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the effect of LCZ696 compared to valsartan on Beta-amyloid deposition in the brain in a subset of patients using amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) imaging over 3 years. To evaluate the effects of LCZ696 compared to valsartan on individual cognitive domains (memory, executive function, and attention) as assessed by the individual components of the CogState battery over 3 years. To compare LCZ696 to valsartan in evaluating changes in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) as assessed with Functional Activity Questionnaire (FAQ) over 3 years.;Main Objective: To evaluate the effects of LCZ696 compared to valsartan on cognitive function over 3 years in patients with HFpEF as assessed by the CogState cognitive assessment battery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Change from baseline in a cortical composite SUVr (standardized uptake value ratio) at 3 years - Change from baseline in individual cognitive domains (memory, executive function, and attention) as assessed by the individual components of the cognitive assessment battery at 3 years - Change from baseline in the summary score of the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) as assessed with Functional Activity Questionnaire (FAQ) at 3 years ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline to 3 years
