Article Synopsis
  • * Chronic heart failure (CHF) involves neurohumoral systems like the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, the sympathetic nervous system, and natriuretic peptides, which are important for understanding and treating the condition.
  • * Sacubitril/valsartan (SAC/VAL) is a new and effective treatment for chronic HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), improving patients' quality of life and reducing hospital stays, but more research is needed on its long-term safety and molecular effects.
