Prospective Observational Study of the Sacubitril-Valsartan Treatment Effectiveness.
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this prospective study is to demonstrate if there is any difference in the treatment response to Sacubitril-Valsartan depending on the ventricular disfunction ethiology in patients with severe systolic disfunction heart failure.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Sacubitril-Valsartan cohort Patients with severe systolic disfunction (left ventricle ejection fraction<40%) heart failure that remain functional class II, III or IV after at least 3 months of optimal treatment and after being evaluated by the cardiologist by doing an echocardiography, blood test and clinical evaluation, start Sacubitril-Valsartan treatment. |
Drug: Sacubitril-Valsartan
Evaluation of the Sacubitril-Valsartan treatment effectiveness.
As there are three possible doses, during the first 30 days of treatment 3 evaluations will be carried out (every 10 days) for dose titration based on safety and tolerability as well as a blood test the 30rd day of treatment.
Afterwards the patient will be evaluated after 3 and 6 months of treatment with a blood test and in the final visit (6 months) an echocardiography will be carried out and the final clinical evaluation will be made.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Difference in the treatment response to Sacubitril-Valsartan depending on the ventricular dysfunction etiology. [Up to 6 months after the beginning of the Sacubitril-Valsartan treatment]
Verify if there is any difference in the response to the treatment with Sacubitril-Valsartan depending on the ventricular dysfunction etiology, ischemic or non-ischemic (idiopathic/familiar,toxic, volume overload,etc) excluding enolic, of patients with severe systolic heart failure.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Determine the microRNA genetic profile in heart failure. [Up to 6 months after the beginning of the Sacubitril-Valsartan treatment]
Study of the microRNA genetic profile in heart failure as an indicator of the cardiac remodeling process and see its response and changes after undergoing Sacubitril-Valsartan treatment.
Other Outcome Measures
- Evaluate the connection between the biomarkers levels in heart failure and the cardiac remodeling parameters. [Up to 6 months after the beginning of the Sacubitril-Valsartan treatment]
Demonstrate if there´s a possible relation between the biomarkers levels in heart failure and an improvement in the cardiac remodeling.
- Study the levels of auricular natriuretic peptide (ANP), auricular natriuretic peptide type B (BNP), urocortin and type I-C terminal pro-collagen. [Up to 6 months after the beginning of the Sacubitril-Valsartan treatment]
Study the levels of ANP, BNP and urocortin as cardioprotective molecules as well as type I-C terminal pro-collagen as measurement of peripheral blood fibrosis.
