Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the clinical effects of sacubitril valsartan and benazepril hydrochloride on heart function in patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF)after two months of treatment. METHODS: Patients (52 cases) with heart failure reduced ejection fraction hospitalized in Third Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from November 2017 to September 2018 were divided into control (25 cases) and treatment (27cases) groups according to different treatments. Two groups of patients were given conventional anti-heart failure treatment. The control group was treated with benazepril hydrochloride 10 mg orally once a day and the dose was doubled every 2 weeks until the target dose was 20 mg orally 1time per day. The treatment group was treated with sacubitril valsartan 50 mg orally twice daily after stop ACEI 36 hours, and the dose was doubled every 2 weeks until the target dose was 200 mg orally 2 times per day. Patients in two groups were treated for 4 weeks. After treatment, the clinical efficacy was evaluated, and 6 min walking distance, the NT-pro BNP levels, LVEF,LVEDD,MLHFQ scores in two groups before and after treatment were compared.RESULTS:After treatment, the clinical efficacy in the control group was 72.00%, which was significantly lower than 92.60% in the treatment group (P<0.05). After treatment, the 6 min walking distance in two groups were significantly increased.The NT-pro BNP levels, LVEF,LVEDD,and MLHFQ scores were decreased, and the difference was statistically significant in the same group (P<0.05). The treatment group was significantly improved compared with control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Sacubitril valsartan has significant curative effect and high safety in the treatment of chronic heart failure.
