Real-world experience of angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors in patients with heart failure and dialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Although angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) has shown promise in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), the treatment effect in HFrEF patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing dialysis is uncertain. This study aimed to examine the real-world effects of ARNI vs. angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (ACEI/ARB) in this subpopulation.

Methods

This multi-institutional, retrospective study identified 349 HFrEF patients with ESRD on dialysis, who initiated either ARNI or ACEI/ARB therapy. Efficacy outcomes included rates of hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) and mortality, as well as changes in echocardiographic parameters. Safety outcomes encompassed hypotension and hyperkal
