Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sacubitril/valsartan (Sal/Val) on left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients with LV systolic dysfunction following acute anterior wall myocardial infarction (AAMI). METHODS: AAMI patients with LV systolic dysfunction were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. After hemodynamic stabilization, patients were randomly assigned either to group T (Sal/Val treatment) or group C (enalapril treatment). Changes in echocardiographic parameters and plasma biochemical markers were used to evaluate the effects of Sal/Val on LV remodeling and cardiac function. The incidence of major cardiac adverse events (MACEs) and adverse reactions during follow-ups was also recorded. RESULTS: In total, 137 eligible patients were prospectively included. Compared to group C, LV ejection fraction significantly improved (P < 0.05), while the LV end-systolic volume index and wall motion score index showed a tendency to decrease in group T. There was no difference in the LV end-diastolic volume index between groups. During follow-ups, the plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 levels in both groups decreased (all P < 0.05), and the change was more prominent in group T. Additionally, drug-related adverse effects were similar between the two groups (P > 0.05); however, the incidence of MACEs was lower in group T than in group C (39.71% vs. 53.62%, P = 0.103), although the difference was insignificant. CONCLUSION: Sac/Val attenuated LV remodeling and dysfunction and was safe and effective in LV systolic dysfunction patients post AAMI.
