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
  • subgroup analysis stratified by mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) use

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 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

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
