Sacubitril/Valsartan in Dialysis Patients: Update on Current Perspectives.
Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy 2023 June 23
Sacubitril/Valsartan is a combination of neprilysin inhibitor and angiotensin II receptor blocker that proved its own efficacy and safety in heart failure patients to ameliorate cardiovascular morbidity and mortality compared to angiotensin II-converting enzyme inhibitors alone. However, end-stage renal disease patients have not been included in the randomized controlled trials, so the beneficial effects as well as the risk profile of this association remain still undefined in these patients. Only observational studies on this drug association have been carried out in end-stage renal disease patients investigating mostly biohumoral or echocardiographic markers. Therefore, its application is still controversial and not free of complications due to the potential risk of hypotension and hyperkaliemia. The efficacy to improve biohumoral markers and cardiac function in dialysis patients and the potential application especially in those patients with severe and resistant hypertension and/or left ventricular dysfunction could be crucial in end-stage renal disease patients. Ongoing long-term randomized controlled trials should thoroughly define the effective benefits and/or adverse effects in patients on substitutive treatment.
