E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine whether the use of angiotensin receptor blockers improves the right ventricular ejection fraction in adult patients with RV dysfunction due to tetralogy of Fallot compared with placebo |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
deterTomine whether the use of angiotensin receptor blockers chances:
1. (RV) and LV volumes mass, and ejection-fraction 2. hospitalization for heart failure 3. death 4. pulmonary regurgitation 5. the prevalence of supra ventricular arrhythmias 6. the serum neurohormone levels 7. NYHA class? 8. quality of life? 9. VO2max 10. microRNAs

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria: adult age and mentally competent; and Tetralogy of Fallot; and right ventricular dysfunction, defined as right ventricular ejection fraction <50% as measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) or CT. Without severe pulmonary stenosis, pulmonary regurgitation or tricuspid regurgitation as measured by CMR or echocardiography. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: - Incapable of giving informed consent - Hypersensitivity to valsartan or any of its help substances - Hypersensitivity to intravenous contrast agent - Previous or current angioedema whether or not in relation to the use of an ACE inhibitor or ARB - Known bilateral renal artery stenosis - Current symptomatic hypotension - Estimated glomerular filtration rate of 30 ml/min or lower - Plasma potassium level > 5,5 mmol/L - Moderate to severe liver disease: Child Pugh class B or C - Raised plasma transaminases level > three times upper normal limit - Current treatment of hypertension with an ACE-inhibitor or ARB, which cannot be discontinued - Pregnant or nursing women - Desire to have children within the study period - Both contra indication to undergoe CMR AND hypersenisitivty to intravenous contrast agent
