Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in 24 hour mean systolic blood pressure measured by ABPM at 12 weeks after sacubitril/valsartan administration instead of ARB participants are using at enrollment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Safety assessments (increase in serum Cr >= 30%, incidence of hyperkalemia) Change in 24 hour mean diastolic blood pressure measured by ABPM at 12 weeks. Change in daytime mean systolic/diastolic blood pressure measured by ABPM at 12 weeks. Change in nocturnal mean systolic/diastolic blood pressure measured by ABPM at 12 weeks. Change in SD, and CV, of 24 hour, daytime, and nocturnal systolic/diastolic blood pressure measured by ABPM at 12 weeks. Change in percentages of dipper, and non-dipper. Change in mean moring home blood pressure, and home blood pressure variability (SD). Change in office blood pressures. Percentages of achievement of target office, or home, blood pressure levels. Change in pulse rate, body weight, and body mass index. Change in the following items.
