Core Tip A 15-year-old boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy presented to the hospital due to recurrent orthopnea for 6 mo. He was diagnosed with heart failure and was prescribed oral diuretics and digoxin at the outpatient clinic, but symptoms did not resolve. Sacubitril/valsartan was added to his therapeutic regimen 1 mo ago but resulted in recurrent hypotension and palpitation episodes until discontinuation of this medication. Although sacubitril/valsartan has been shown to be beneficial for heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction, hypotension is a common side effect of this medication, and blood pressure should be closely monitored in DMD patients with advanced heart failure.
