Long-awaited #PROVEHF did not disappoint 🙌🏻: -Rapid (<2w) and large reduction in NT-proBNP (at lowest #entresto dose) -Sign reverse remodelling (LVEF +9% and LVMi -16 g/m2) -Consistent in RASi-naive; low NP and non-target dose CONGRATULATIONS @JJheart_doc @scottdsolomon

Potential intriguing implications from the "neutral" #PARAGON_HF trial. Patients with lower LVEF may have benefits similar to #PARADIGM_HF #ESCCongress

In this post hoc secondary analysis of the PARADIGM-HF trial, sacubitril/valsartan improved limitations in physical + social activities that are common in patients with heart failure, including sexual activities #Entresto #NeprilysinInhibitor #HeartFailure https://t.co/KJ54IDKJe5
