Risk stratification by renal function and NYHA class in patients with hypotension initiated on sacubitril/valsartan: a retrospective cohort study from 17 centres in Japan.

Background: Patients with heart failure exhibiting low systolic blood pressure (SBP) have a poor prognosis. Sacubitril/valsartan reduces cardiovascular events; however, its use in patients with low SBP has not been fully examined. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the association between baseline SBP and adverse events (AEs) in patients starting sacubitril/valsartan therapy using data from a real-world registry in Japan.
