Brief Summary
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.

Interventions
Sacubitril belongs to a class of drugs called neprilysin inhibitors and valsartan belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). They work by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily, which makes it easier for your heart to pump blood to your body.
Eligibility Criteria
AAs with HFrEF on sacubitril/valsartan therapy
You may qualify if:
- Self-identified as AA
- NYHA class II-IV symptoms
- Left ventricle EF \<40%
- Receiving stable doses of standard therapy, including ACE inhibitors or ARBs, ARNI (within a month from discharge), combination H-ISDN, beta blockers, digoxin, spironolactone, and diuretics as tolerated.
- Patient must have minimum of three months follow-up
