Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) vs. Enalapril on improvement in erectile function and ability in male patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and erectile dysfunction.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of sacubitril/valsartan in improving erectile function in male patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA II) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and erectile dysfunction (ED). Data from this study was intended to provide a thorough understanding of the impact of sacubitril/valsartan on male sexual function and therefore quality of life.
