| Core Tip |
Heart failure (HF) is a multi-faceted clinical condition that affects up to 2% of the population in the developed world, and is linked to significant morbidity and mortality; it is therefore considered a major concern for public health. In 2014, a newly developed angiotensin receptor blocker and neprilysin inhibitor (angiotensin-receptor neprilysin inhibitor), namely sacubitril/valsartan (SAC/VAL), was introduced as a treatment for chronic HF (CHF), and it proved to have the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness to improve quality of life and longevity in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and reduces hospital admission. In this review, we first summarize the current knowledge regarding HF, then provide an overview of the current knowledge on SAC/VAL for CHF, together with relevant clinical trials and future perspectives. |
