This study aims to investigate the dosage pattern, efficacy, and safety of sacubitril/valsartan (Sac/Val) in Chinese heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients regarding real-world settings. Patients from 27 centers with a confirmed diagnosis of HFrEF and initiated Sac/Val treatment were enrolled. The primary objective was to evaluate the dosage pattern and change of heart failure status. In a final cohort of 983 patients, outpatient Sac/Val treatment demonstrated a similar beneficial effect in NT-proBNP and cardiac function. After initiating the treatment, overall and sub-population showed similar safety and efficacy. Patients who received a higher dose of Sac/Val (> 200 mg/d) demonstrated better improvement in LV function and reduction of NT-proBNP regardless of adjustment. Among Chinese HFrEF patients, Sac/Val showed a comparable reduction in NT-proBNP and improvement in cardiac function. Data further support guideline recommendations of Sac/Val in Chinese population. Optimal up-titration might provide further benefits. Further long-term and prognostic studies are needed.
本研究旨在探讨沙库巴曲缬沙坦(Sac/Val)在中国射血分数降低的心力衰竭(HFrEF)患者中的剂量模式、疗效和安全性,涉及真实世界的情况。共纳入 27 个中心确诊为 HFrEF 并开始 Sac/Val 治疗的患者。主要目的是评估剂量模式和心力衰竭状态的变化。在最终的 983 例患者队列中,门诊 Sac/Val 治疗在 NT-proBNP 和心功能方面显示出相似的有益效果。开始治疗后,整体和亚人群表现出相似的安全性和疗效。无论是否进行调整,接受 Sac/Val 高剂量(>200mg/d)治疗的患者在左心室功能改善和 NT-proBNP 降低方面表现更好。在中国 HFrEF 患者中,Sac/Val 可降低 NT-proBNP 并改善心功能。数据进一步支持 Sac/Val 在中国人中的指南推荐。最佳滴定可能会带来进一步的获益。需要进一步进行长期和预后研究。
