Summary

This study tests whether the blood pressure medication valsartan can slow the worsening of a heart valve leak called atrial functional mitral regurgitation in 50 adults with preserved heart function. Participants will take either valsartan or a placebo twice daily for 12 months and undergo heart imaging and walking tests. The goal is to see if the drug reduces valve leakage and improves heart structure and symptoms.
