Authors' conclusion

In pooled analyses of PARAGLIDE-HF and PARAGON-HF, sacubitril/valsartan reduced cardiovascular and renal events among patients with HF with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction.

Study context

Population
Heart failure (HF) with mildly reduced or preserved EF (LVEF >40% in PARAGLIDE-HF, ≥45% in PARAGON-HF) with worsening HF event within 30 daysall participants pooled n = 5262
Participants
1,088 participants
Comparison
Sacubitril/valsartan vs valsartan
Outcome
Composite of:
  • Total worsening HF events (first and recurrent HF hospitalisations and urgent visits)
  • CV death
Methodological detailsmulticentre, double-blind, active-controlled
