ABSTRACT: Background
Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) frequently experience electrical disturbances, such as ventricular or atrial fibrillation (AF). Sacubitril/Valsartan (SV) therapy has been linked to lower rates of mortality, ventricular tachycardia (VT), and ventricular fibrillation (VF), with decreased reliance on implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy. However, studies on the antiarrhythmic effects of SV in patients with ICD or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) devices are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of SV therapy on antiarrhythmic pacing, defibrillation shock occurrences, and the burden of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with HFrEF who have ICD or CRT-D devices.Method
