Abstract

Objective: To describe the treatment results of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction using a regimen using Saubitril/valartan. Method: A descriptive, prospective, longitudinal study of 58 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Results: There were more men than women with a male/female ratio of 2.41. The mean age was 64.69 ± 13.2 years, most of whom were 65 years or older. The improvement in NYHA classification was statistically significant with p < 0.05. The improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-systolic and end-diastolic dimensions was statistically significant with p < 0.05. The change in NT-proBNP concentration (median 1937 pg/ml vs 911 pg/ml) was statistically significant with p = 0,00 < 0.05. 56.9% of patients participating in the study achieved treatment effectiveness in improving NYHA classification, improving EF and improving NT-proBNP concentration. Conclusion: The heart failure treatment regimen using Sacubitril/valsartan is effective in treating heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, improving all 3 indexes including ejection fraction, reducing NT-proBNP concentration and improving NYHA classification.
