Rationale for and Practical Use of Sacubitril/Valsartan in the Patient’s Journey with Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction

Sacubitril with valsartan (sacubitril/valsartan) is a relatively novel compound that has become a milestone in the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in the last decade. Contemporary data suggest that sacubitril/valsartan is associated with i...
