randOmized stUdy Using acceleromeTry to Compare Sacubitril/valsarTan and Enalapril in Patients With Heart Failure

The purpose of this randomized, actively controlled, double-blind study with prospective data collection was to assess differences between sacubitril/valsartan versus enalapril in increasing exercise capacity and non-sedentary physical activity in HFrEF patients. Physical activity was assessed by the 6 minute walk test, and daily physical activity was continuously measured by means of a wrist-worn accelerometry device from 2 weeks before until 12 weeks after start of study therapy (sacubitril/valsartan or enalapril).
