Abstract:

〔Abstract〕 Objective: To analyze the application of sacubitril-valsartan in inpatients with heart failure in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dali University, so as to provide a basis for clinical rational use of the drug. Methods:The hospital information system was used to collect the basic information of inpatients who used sacubitril-valsartan from June to December 2020, and the application of the drug was retrospectively analyzed. Results: A total of 213 patients with indications were enrolled, and 42 cases had relative drug contraindications. The initial dose or frequency were unreasonable in 49 cases, and 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-valsartan, and 28 cases were not properly converted. Compared to the situation before treatment, the cardiac function of patients without relative contraindications improved significantly, while the renal function of patients with relative contraindications improved obviously. 49 cases had adverse drug reaction. Conclusion: There are some unreasonable situations in the use of sacubitril-valsartan in patients with heart failure in this hospital, such as relative medication contraindications, low initial dose, low rate of target dose reaches to standard, and inappropriate drug timing of drug conversion. It is suggested that medical institutions should standardize the clinical application of the drug.
