简要总结
Sacubitril/valsartan is an established medication for heart failure. However, data still lags in its use in heart failure patients with chronic kidney disease. Sacubitril/valsartan is manufacturer-labeled for use in patients with eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 at an initial dose of 24/26mg twice daily. However, to the best of our knowledge, the concept of sacubitril/valsartan or ACEi in patients with chronic kidney disease & presenting with decompensated heart failure has not yet been explored fully.
