| Endpoints | Description | Visits of endpoints collection |
|---|---|---|
| Primary efficacy | ||

| Quality of life | Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire | At screening (V1) and at the end of each treatment arm (V9 and V14) |
| Secondary safety | ||
| Safety of medication | Electrolytes (serum potassium level), renal function (creatinine, eGFR, urea), blood pressure Adverse clinical events occurred during each treatment arm: cough, postural symptoms, angioedema. |
At screening (V1), at the halfway time point for each treatment arm (V8 and V13) and at the end of each treatment arm (V9 and V14). From screening (V1) until end of the follow-up (run in phase, 2 arms phases, and safety period) |
