Efficacy and Safety of Sacubitril/Valsartan in African American Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Mar 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

There is limited long-term evidence specific to AAs with HFrEF on sacubitril/valsartan therapy. Plasma NT-proBNP levels are lower in AA individuals as compared to Caucasian individuals in general. However, the mechanism of action of sacubitril specifically targets the activity of BNP. Therefore, there is the potential that the mechanism of action of sacubitril/valsartan may be less effective in AAs.
