About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The main-objective is to evaluate the effect of an angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor compared to care as usual (i.e. no medication) during a two-year open-labeled treatment period in women with asymptomatic heart failure (HF) on reversibility of aberrant cardiac remodeling in asymptomatic HF towards healthy values.

  1. How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
  2. Are travel costs paid?
  3. Can I keep my own doctor?
  4. What happens if I want to stop?
