Endpoints
A cardiovascular event defined as CV death, heart faliure re-hospitalization, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), nonfatal stroke, sudden death with resuscitation.
Inclution Criteria
Patients with a diagnosis of acute heart failure expressed by symptoms (dyspnea or fatigability - NYHA Class III-IV) and signs of fluid overload (i.e., jugular venous distension, edema or positive rales auscultation or pulmonary congestion on chest x-ray) at the time of hospitalization.
LVEF < 40% (measured within the last 6 months).
Hospitalization for ADHF and remain "stabilized" for at least 6 hours (defined as SBP ≥ 110 mm Hg after acute decompensated episode) and did not receive IV vasodilators (other than nitrates) and/or IV inotropic drugs at anytime from ADHF presentation to time of randomization.
Elevated BNP at Visit 1 or at randomization (BNP ≥ 400 pg/ml).
Patients with a history of chronic heart failure on standard therapy defined as requiring HF treatment for at least 30 days before the current hospitalization (NYHA Class II - IV).
Exclusion Criteria
Concomitant use of ACEI and ARB at randomization.
Right heart failure due to pulmonary disease.
Diagnosis of postpartum cardiomyopathy.
Myocardial infarction or cardiac surgery, including percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), within past 3 months.
Patients with a history of heart transplant or who are on a transplant list.
Unstable angina or coronary artery disease likely to require coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or PTCA before randomization.
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria applied.
