Abstract

In a landmark multi-center, phase III, randomized controlled trial — PARADIGM-HF, that investigated long-term effects and safety of novel class of agents — angiotensin receptor antagonist/neprilisin inhibitor (ARNI) — LCZ696 (sacubitril/ /valsartan) in comparison with enalapril, clear clinical benefit was shown in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who were subjected to sacubitril/valsartan. Sacubitril/valsartan (EntrestoTM) has been avai- lable in Poland for the last two years. The present document is a practical guide for all those physicians who would like to initiate this new therapy for the first time and also for those have gathered so far some experience with EntrestoTM.
