About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the effect of sacubitril/valsartan in patients with prosthetic heart valves with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥ 18 years old.
Both sexes.
Patients with a history of prosthetic heart valves.
Patients diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), defined as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 40% with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II-IV.
Disqualifiers
Hemodynamic instability.
Use of a circulatory auxiliary circulation device.
Severe hepatic [alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >120 U/L] and renal insufficiency [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min].
Blood pressure <100/60 mmHg.
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Sacubitril/Valsartan
DrugPatients will be treated with conventional anti-heart failure therapy plus sacubitril/valsartan (oral administration of an initial dose of 24/26 mg twice daily, gradually increasing to 97/103 mg, depending on follow-up blood pressure) \[Entresto, 100 mg (sacubitril 49 mg/valsartan 51 mg)\].
Conventional anti-heart failure therapy
DrugPatients will be treated only with conventional anti-heart failure therapy as a control group.

Effective rate
Effectiveness is defined as an New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function grade improved by 1 grade or more. Effective rate= Effectiveness/total quantity\*(100%).
