Observational Study
Sacubitril/valsartan can improve the cardiac function in heart failure patients with a history of cancer: An observational study.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2024 March 23
Sacubitril/Valsartan, the combination of angiotensin receptor inhibitor and neprilysin inhibitor, is now becoming the class 1 recommendation for HFrEF. Some studies have shown the positive effect of Sacubitril/Valsartan on HFrEF cancer patients, while there is devoid of evidence about the effect of this drug in aged cancer patients with HFmrEF and HFpEF. By searching the patients with a diagnosis of both cancer and Heart failure (HF) over 65, the patients who had received treatment with Sacubitril/Valsartan were selected as the candidates for Sacubitril/Valsartan group, and the patients who had received conventional HF therapy without Sacubitril/Valsartan were chosen as the control group. Data were collected for up to 9 months. We filtered 38 patients and 50 patients valid for Sacubitril/Valsartan group and control group, respectively. After initiation of heart failure management, our study found a better cardiac condition in Sacubitril/Valsartan group, having better LVEF, LVFS, NT-proBNP in 3rd, 6th, 9th month (P < .05) and better NYHA function classification after the treatment. We also observed fewer cases of deterioration on LAD (P = .029) and LVEDD (P = .023) in Sacubitril/Valsartan group. In subgroup analysis, our study showed that all 3 kinds of HF patients had better LVEF, LVFS, and NT-proBNP in Sacubitril/Valsartan group (P < .05). Our study further indicated that Sacubitril/Valsartan can improve cardiac function and benefit cardiac remolding in aged cancer patients of all 3 kinds of HF. This is the first study to provide new evidence for the use of Sacubitril/Valsartan in aged cancer patients of 3 kinds of HF.
