Sponsor
Lithuanian University of Health Sciences
Enrollment
340 participants
Start Date
Aug 10, 2023
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study aims to determine if patients with higher BMI can tolerate higher doses of Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) and experience better symptomatic and functional outcomes compared to patients with lower BMI.
Eligibility
Min Age: 18 Years
Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This study examines how well and how safely patients with heart failure with reduced pumping function (HFrEF) tolerate Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) depending on their body weight (BMI). Entresto is a heart medication that helps the heart pump more efficiently.
**You may be eligible if...**
- You are 18 or older
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (your heart pumps out 35% or less of blood per beat)
- You have never taken Entresto before, or you are willing to switch from your current ACE inhibitor or ARB medication
- You are able to provide informed consent
**You may NOT be eligible if...**
- You have severe kidney disease (eGFR below 30) or severe liver disease
- You have a history of angioedema (severe tissue swelling, often from prior ACE inhibitor use)
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have active cancer or another serious medical condition
- You have a history of not taking your medications as prescribed
