Sacubitril/Valsartan Compared to Ramipril in High-Risk Post-Myocardial Infarction Patients Stratified According to Use of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists: Insight from the PARADISE Myocardial Infarction (MI) Trial

Eur J Heart FailPublished Secondary analysis of the PARADISE MI randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Use of a MRA did not modify safety or clinical endpoints related to initiation of ARNI compared to ramipril in the post-MI setting in patients with LVSD and/or congestion.

Study context

Population
High-risk post-MI patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) and/or pulmonary congestion, stratified by mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) use2,338 (41%) on MRA
Participants
5,661 patients
Comparison
Sacubitril/valsartan vs ramipril, by MRA use
Primary endpoint
Worsening HF or CV death
Methodological detailssubgroup analysis stratified by MRA use
  • Subgroup analysis stratified by MRA use

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Worsening HF or CV death, by MRA use (subgroup)
ARNI vs RamiprilHazard ratio (95% CI)
MRA
0.96(0.77–1.19)
No MRA
0.87(0.71–1.05)

Further findings

Primary endpoint, investigator-reported, by MRA use

Similar findings with investigator-reported endpoints
P = 0.61 for interaction

Safety

Safety (symptomatic hypotension, hyperkalaemia >5.5 mmol/L, permanent drug discontinuation), by MRA use

With MRA, risk of hyperkalaemia or permanent drug discontinuation not significantly altered by ARNI
P > 0.05 for all comparisons
Safety of ARNI vs ramipril not altered significantly by ± MRA; similar increase in symptomatic hypotension with ARNI in both
