Efficacy and Safety of Angiotensin Receptor–Neprilysin Inhibition in Heart Failure Patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease on Maintenance Dialysis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

This meta-analysis provided insights into the benefits of ARNI in HF patients with ESKD undergoing dialysis by improving left ventricular function, reversing left ventricular remodelling, and reducing the risk of all-cause mortality, without increasing the risk of HF hospitalizations, severe hyperkalaemia, and symptomatic hypotension.
