Estudo randomizado | Em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca e fração de ejeção preservada, sacubitril/valsartana reduziu o NT-proBNP, mas não melhorou a capacidade de exercício e foi associado com risco aumentado de hipotensão (14,1% vs. 5,5%).

Study found treatment w sacubitril/valsartan vs standard treatment w enalapril, valsartan, or placebo resulted in a statistically significant reduction in plasma NT-proBNP levels at 12 wk but no significant change in the 6-minute walking distance at 24 wk https://t.co/rwlOXWwcz2 pic.twitter.com/fRUPgQpU9J
