In the proposed 3-year project, we hypothesize that the different components of arterial load are coupled with different components of LV function. The regional ventriculo-arterial couplings may be important in the pathogenesis of heart failure and ventricular remodeling, and in the prediction of future cardiovascular events. Therapies targeting these may play a role in the prevention and treatment of heart failure. Therefore, we will study at least 120 patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV) who will randomly receive a direct renin inhibitor, aliskiren, or a placebo for 6 months on top of standard therapy.
