- Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitor (ARNi) has been specifically designed to treat heart failure. It consists of 2 components that work together: an angiotensin II receptor blocker and a neprilysin inhibitor. Studies have shown that ARNi may improve length of life and reduce the risk of being re-hospitalised for heart failure.

Recognition that neurohormonal activation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF) led to the development of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and beta blockers. While there has been substantial success with these neurohormonal blocking drugs...
In addition to contributing to the breakdown of counter-regulatory peptides, neprilysin also is involved in the metabolism of Ang II. Since the use of a neprilysin inhibitor alone would increase levels of Ang II, a peptide known to mediate long-term adverse efects on the heart and blood vessels, as well as the levels of potentially beneficial pepti...
The clinical trial results reviewed in this manuscript provide compelling evidence that sacubitril-valsartan should be considered as first line therapy in patients with class C HFrEF. An ARNI can be started either in-hospital once the patient has stabilized (according to criteria outlined in the PIONEER-HF study) or in the out-patient setting. Ther...
In patients with class C HFrEF ARNI's should be used in association with an evidence based beta blocker (i.e., carvedilol, either short or long-acting, metoprolol succinate or bisoprolol) and an MRA. The order in which these agents should be used is left to the discretion of the clinician managing the patient's care. The practice of the author is t...
The development and testing of an ARNI in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) has resulted in an important new approach for managing patients with stage C HFrEF. Available evidence shows that sacubitril-valsartan is superior to enalapril in improving outcomes in this population. As a result, the use of sacubitril-valsartan is now guideline recommende...

Apr 1, 2022 · Heart failure remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The 2022 heart failure guideline provides recommendations based on contemporary evidence for the treatment of these patients.
Moreover, the paper highlights the role of ARNI in heart failure management, with numerous clinical trials that have demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization, enhancing quality of life, and diminishing the risk of ventricular arrhythmias.
Nov 22, 2021 · Therefore, ARNI therapy could benefit patients with heart failure and CKD by reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and possibly retarding the progression of CKD, although more clinical evidence is required in patients with severe CKD and end-stage renal disease.
