A recent study published in the Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy Journal found that sacubitril/valsartan has lower all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) over a 12-month follow-up period. Wei-Chieh Lee and team undertook this study to investigate the differential effects of sacubitril/valsartan and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin-receptor blockers (ACEIs/ARBs) on clinical and renal outcomes in CKD patients HFrEF.
