May 15, 2021 For immediate post-MI patients, sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto; Novartis) does not significantly decrease the risk of heart failure (HF) or CV death compared with an ACE inhibitor, the PARADISE-MI trial shows. sacubitril/valsartan is superior to an ACE inhibitor in patients who have symptomatic HF with reduced ejection fraction when it comes to reducing both HF events and total mortality, PARADISE-MI fell short by missing its primary endpoint of a 15% reduction in events needed to demonstrate superiority of the angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) over an ACE inhibitor, ramipril, in this acute MI population. Nevertheless, there was a 10% reduction in the sacubitril/valsartan group and positive reports of reduced events from investigators who participated in the large multinational trial.
