The Role of Sacubitril/Valsartan in Post-acute Myocardial Infarction

Sacubitril/Valsartan (SAC/VAL) is a new treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF) recently indicated as class I, level of evidence B in the recent European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines 2016 of CHF. PARADIGM-HF trial demonstrated a significant improvement of morbidity and mortality with SAC/VAL in comparison to enalapril. So far, no data available about the effect of usage of SAC/VAL post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) except in animal experimental models. The purpose of the research is evaluation of the effects of SAC/VAL in post-AMI in comparison to the traditional Angiotensin Converting Enzyme inhibitors (ACEs inhibitors) or Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs) in a real-life clinical trial in treatment of post-AMI patients with reduced left ventricular (LV) systolic function.
