Brief Summary: Despite advances in care prognosis remains poor once overt Heart Failure HF has developed Prevention is most efficient when directed toward patients at risk and when mechanistically targeted to patients most likely to respond An increase in myocardial and possibly vascular collagen content fibrosis may be a major determinant of the transition to HF In patients with hypertension and diabetes two important risk-factors for HF changes in blood markers of fibrosis occur before clinically overt HF develops These markers are also related to prognosis

In the general population Galectin-3 Gal-3 a potential marker of fibrosis is associated with cardiovascular CV risk factors and predicts development of HF In animal models Gal-3 is a key mediator of aldosterone-induced CV and renal fibrosis and dysfunction

The investigators hypothesize that the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist MRA spironolactone may prevent HF by acting on extracellular matrix remodelling especially in patients with active fibrogenesis identified by high Gal-3 levels The benefitrisk ratio of spironolactone might be superior in patients with a higher compared to lower plasma concentrations of Gal-3

Main objective is to investigate whether spironolactone can favourably alter extra-cellular matrix remodelling assessed by changes in the fibrosis biomarker Procollagen Type III N-Terminal Peptide PIIINP in patients at increased risk of developing heart failure and whether this effect is greater in patients with increased plasma concentrations of Gal-3
