Article Synopsis
- Sacubitril-valsartan has been shown to lower hospitalizations and death rates in heart failure patients, but there is limited real-world data on its effectiveness in older patients.
- A study was conducted using a Spanish heart failure registry to compare elderly patients treated with sacubitril-valsartan versus those on angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) during acute heart failure hospitalization.
- Results indicated that while sacubitril-valsartan was associated with a trend towards fewer readmissions and deaths due to heart failure compared to ACEI, these findings were not statistically significant over follow-up periods of 3 months and 1 year.
