To explore two modalities of treatment initiation (Pre-discharge, and Post-discharge) with LCZ696 in HFrEF patients following stabilization after an ADHF episode.
LCZ696 film-coated tables were supplied to the investigators. Tablets were taken with a glass of water, and were administered with or without food. The target dose of LCZ696 was 200 mg twice daily. Starting dose of LCZ696 was either 50 or 100 mg, twice daily. The dose of LCZ696 should be doubled every 2-4 weeks to achieve the target dose of 200 mg twice daily, as tolerated by the patient.
