ResultsA total of 213 patients with indications were enrolledand 42 cases had relative drug contraindications. The initial dose or frequency were unreasonable in 49 casesand the target dose was not up to standard in 173 cases. There were 93 cases treated with ACEI or ARB converted to the application of sacubitril-valsartanand 28 cases were not properly converted. Compared to the situation before treatmentthe cardiac function of patients without relative contraindications improved significantlywhile the renal function of patients with relative contraindications improved obviously. 49 cases had adverse drug reaction. ConclusionThere are some unreasonable situations in the use of sacubitril-valsartan in patients with heart failure in this hospitalsuch as relative medication contraindicationslow initial doselow rate of target dose reaches to standardand inappropriate drug timing of drug conversion.
