Here's a question that you might not have considered: how did the dose for #sacubitril/valsartan in #HFrEF get chosen?

Out today is a paper in @JACCJournals led by @RezaMohebiMD that addresses some questions about sac/val dose in HFrEF.

a 🧵

jacc.org/doi/epdf/10.10…
It's a little known fact that prior to the PH3 PARADIGM trial, a PH2 study in HFrEF was not performed--normally PH2 studies provide target doses for the pivotal outcomes trials.

So how was the dose of sacubitril/valsartan chosen??
The target dose of 97/103 mg twice daily was selected to achieve serum concentrations of valsartan = to those in Val-HeFT and VALIANT while simultaneously achieving 90% neprilysin inhibition in normal individuals.

Presented today as late-breaking data at #HFSA2022 and posted online @CircAHA, new data from PROVE-HF regarding impact of #sacubitril/valsartan on #mitralregurgitation in #HFrEF.

Thanks to @DukeHFDoc for presenting in my absence.

What did we find? A 🧵...
It is well-known that MR severity is an important determinant of symptoms and prognosis in those with HFrEF.

Thanks to work from @LindenfeldJoann and @GreggWStone in the COAPT trial, it is also known that repair of MR may improve outcome in HFrEF.
Based on the COAPT and MITRA-FR results, current recommendations are to "optimize" #GDMT prior to decisions on repair of MR. Why?

Thanks to the reverse remodeling effects of #GDMT, MR severity may be reduced, avoiding need for MV repair.

What is known about sac/val and MR?
