Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy of sakubatril valsartan combined with tolvaptan in the treatment of heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF)and the effects on echocardiography and cardiovascular events.Methods According to the random number table method,400 patients with HFrEF admitted to the First People's Hospital from September 2017 to January 2022 were divided into the control group and the combination group with 200 cases each.Both groups were given conventional treatment,based on which the control group was given sacubitril valsartan and the combination group was given sacubitril valsartan combined with tolvaptan.The efficacy,echocardiographic indexes[left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter(LVEDD),left ventricular end-systolic internal diameter(LVESD)],myocardial injury indexes[serum brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),high-sensitivity troponin T(hs-CTnT),growth transforming factor-15(GDF-15)],urine output,neuroendocrine factors[antidiuretic hormone(ADH),angiotensin(PRA),angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)],cardiovascular events and adverse effects were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate was 94.50%(189/200)higher in the combined group than 86.00%(172/200)in the control group(P＜0.05);LVEF was high-er in the combined group than in the control group after treatment,and LVEDD and LVESD were lower than in the control group(P＜0.05);BNP,hs-CTnT,GDF-15,ADH PRA,and Ang II were lower in the combined group than in the control group,and urine volume was higher than in the control group(P＜0.05);at 6-month follow-up after treatment,there were no statistically significant differences in the rehospitalization rate of heart failure,the incidence of non-fatal infarction,post-discharge cardiovascular mortali-ty and all-cause mortality in the combined group compared with those of the control group(P＞0.05);there were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of adverse events in the combined group compared with that of the control group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Sacubitril valsartan combined with tolvaptan is effective in treating HFrEF,by reducing myocardial inju-ry,promoting urination,and improving patients'cardiac function without increasing the risk of cardiovascular events and adverse reactions.
