Study information

Study designRandomised controlled trial
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeTreatment
Scientific title
Study acronymARBs and systemic right ventricles.
Study objectivesTreatment with an angiotensin II receptor blocker (valsartan) stabilises or improves the functional performance of the systemic right ventricle.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTransposition of the great arteries, systemic right ventricle
InterventionOne group receives twice daily a 160 mg tablet of valsartan and the other group receives twice daily a placebo tablet.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Valsartan
Primary outcome measureThe change in right ventricular ejection fraction, determined by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) (valsartan versus placebo). In patients who are not eligible for CMR the right ventricular ejection fraction is determined by echocardiography.
Secondary outcome measures1. Changes congestive heart failure?
2. Changes the prevalence of supra-ventricular arrhythmias?
3. Changes in right ventricular function, determined by body surface mapping?
4. Changes the right ventricular volume?
5. Changes the peak oxygen consumption during exercise?
6. Changes the serum neurohormone levels?
7. Changes the quality of life and sport activity?
8. Changes the cardiac output and microcirculation?
9. Changes the number of deaths?
