Case of a patient with heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy, and atrial fibrillation treated with sacubitril/valsartan.

We report a case of a 29-year old male with HF, dilated cardiomyopathy possibly related to myocarditis, and atrial fibrillation with reduced ejection fraction. Sacubitril/valsartan treatment was initiated after two years of standard treatment. In two years, therapy with sacubitril/valsartan led to persistence in sinus rhythm and progressive recovery of ejection fraction, functionality, and reduction of cardiac volumes. The patient is currently in good condition and has suspended diuretic therapy in the last six months. PMID: 30895821 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
