Prevent Mishaps With Entresto or Lancora in Heart Failure Patients
You'll hear more about using Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) or Lancora (ivabradine) for systolic heart failure.
Most heart failure patients will still get an ACE inhibitor (lisinopril, etc) OR an ARB (losartan, etc)...PLUS a beta-blocker (carvedilol or bisoprolol). And an aldosterone antagonist (spironolactone, etc) may be added if symptoms persist.
But Entresto is getting more attention since it may prevent cardiovascular death...and Lancora may reduce heart failure hospitalizations.
