Effect of sacubitril-valsartan on the incidence of atrial fibrillation: A meta-analysis.
Sacubitril/valsartan reduces all-cause mortality in heart failure (HF) patients compared to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). ACEIs/ARBs have been shown to decrease the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). We hypothesized sacubitril-valsartan decreases the incidence of AF compared to ACEis/ARBs.. Clinicaltrials.gov was searched for trials by terms sacubitril/valsartan, entresto, sacubitril, valsartan. Randomized controlled human trials of sacubitril/valsartan reporting AF were included. Data were extracted independently by two reviewers. Data was pooled using a random effect model. Publication bias was evaluated by funnel plots.. A total of 11 trials including 11,458 patients on sacubitril/valsartan and 10,128 patients on ACEI/ARBs were identified. A total of 284 AF events were reported in the sacubitril/valsartan group compared to 256 AF events in ACEIs/ARBs. Patients on sacubitril/valsartan were as likely as patients on ACEIs/ARBs to develop AF (pooled odds ratio [OR] = 1.091, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.917-1.298, p = .324). Six atrial flutter (AFl) events were reported in six trials; 48 out of 9165 patients in the sacubitril/valsartan group developed AFl compared to 46 out of 8759 in ACEi/ARBs group. There was no difference in AFl risk between the two groups (pooled OR = 1.028, 95% CI = 0.681-1.553, p = .894). Finally, sacubitril/valsartan did not reduce the risk of atrial arrhythmias (AF + AFl) compared to ACEi/ARBs (pooled OR = 1.081, 95% CI = 0.922-1.269, p = .337).. Although sacubitril/valsartan reduces mortality compared to ACEIs/ARBs in HF patients, they do not reduce AF risk compared to these drugs.

Sacubitril/Valsartan Can Reduce Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Catheter Ablation in Patients with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation.
This study compared the effectiveness of sacubitril/valsartan (SV) vs. valsartan (V) for treating persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) after radio-frequency catheter ablation (RFCA).. Patients with persistent AF who received RFCA were randomly assigned to the SV or V treatment group with the intervention lasting for 12 months. The primary outcome included any atrial arrhythmia episode lasting ≥ 30 s after a 3-month blanking period. The secondary outcome included any atrial arrhythmia episode lasting ≥ 24 h or requiring cardioversion after a 3-month blanking period. The H2FPEF score was used to assess the possibility of patients suffering from heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.. A total of 143 patients with persistent AF who received RFCA were randomized for the study, with 5 patients failing to follow-up. Among them, 29 (42%) out of 69 patients receiving V and 15 (21.7%) out of 69 patients receiving SV reached the primary endpoint (P < 0.001). A total of 26 (37.7%) out of 69 patients receiving V and 7 (10.1%) out of 69 patients receiving SV reached the secondary endpoint (P < 0.001). A decrease in the H2FPEF score after a 1-year follow-up seemed to be related to the recurrence of AF (OR, 0.065; 95% CI: 0.018-0.238, P < 0.001).. SV can decrease AF recurrence after catheter ablation in patients with persistent AF at the 1-year follow-up. The mechanism for this process may be related to the reduction in the H2FPEF score in patients with preserved ejection fraction heart failure.

Deformation Imaging by Strain in Chronic Heart Failure Over Sacubitril-Valsartan: A Multicenter Echocardiographic Registry.
Sacubitril/valsartan has changed the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), due to the positive effects on morbidity and mortality, partly mediated by left ventricular (LV) reverse remodelling (LVRR). The aim of this multicenter study was to identify echocardiographic predictors of LVRR after sacubitril/valsartan administration.. Patients with HFrEF requiring therapy with sacubitril/valsartan from 13 Italian centres were included. Echocardiographic parameters including LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global peak atrial longitudinal strain by speckle tracking echocardiography were measured to find the predictors of LVRR [= LV end-systolic volume reduction ≥10% and ejection fraction (LVEF) improvement ≥10% at follow-up] at 6 month follow-up as the primary endpoint. Changes in symptoms [New York Heart Association (NYHA) class] and neurohormonal activations [N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)] were also evaluated as secondary endpoints; 341 patients (excluding patients with poor acoustic windows and missing data) were analysed (mean age: 65 ± 10 years; 18% female, median LVEF 30% [inter-quartile range: 25-34]). At 6 month follow-up, 82 (24%) patients showed early complete response (LVRR and LVEF ≥ 35%), 55 (16%) early incomplete response (LVRR and LVEF < 35%), and 204 (60%) no response (no LVRR and LVEF < 35%). Non-ischaemic aetiology, a lower left atrial volume index, and a higher GLS were all independent predictors of LVRR at multivariable logistic analysis (all P < 0.01). A baseline GLS < -9.3% was significantly associated with early response (area under the curve 0.75, P < 0.0001). Left atrial strain was the best predictor of positive changes in NYHA class and NT-proBNP (all P < 0.05).. Speckle tracking echocardiography parameters at baseline could be useful to predict LVRR and clinical response to sacubitril-valsartan and could be used as a guide for treatment in patients with HFrEF.

The impact of sacubitril/valsartan on outcome in patients suffering from heart failure with a concomitant diabetes mellitus.
Guidelines classify sacubitril/valsartan as a significant part of medical treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Data have shown that the HbA1c levels in patients with diabetes mellitus could be impacted by sacubitril/valsartan. A possible positive effect in diabetes patients treated with sacubitril/valsartan on outcome and echocardiography parameters is not well studied yet.. The aim of the present study was to compare the impact of sacubitril/valsartan on life-threatening arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, different echocardiography parameters and congestion rate in patients suffering from HFrEF according to the diagnosis diabetes mellitus or no diabetes mellitus.. Consecutive 240 patients with HFrEF from 2016 to 2020 were treated with sacubitril/valsartan and separated to concomitant diabetes mellitus (n = 87, median age 68 years interquartile range (IQR) [32-87]) or no diabetes mellitus (n = 153, median age 66 year IQR [34-89]). Different comorbidities and outcome data were evaluated over a follow-up period of 24 months. Arterial hypertension (87% vs. 64%; P < 0.01) and coronary artery disease (74% vs. 60%; P = 0.03) were more often documented in patients with diabetes mellitus compared with patients without diabetes mellitus. Over the follow-up of 24 months several changes were noted in both subgroups: Median left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) increased significantly in non-diabetes (27% IQR [3-44] at baseline to 35% IQR [13-64]; P < 0.001), but not in diabetic patients (29% IQR [10-65] at baseline to 30% IQR [13-55]; P = 0.11). Accordingly, NT-proBNP and troponin-I levels decreased significantly in non-diabetes patients (NT-brain natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP] from median 1445 pg/mL IQR [12.6-74 676] to 491 pg/mL IQR [13-4571]; P < 0.001, troponin-I levels from 0.099 ng/mL IQR [0.009-138.69] to 0.023 ng/mL IQR [0.006-0.635]; P < 0.001), but not in diabetic patients (NT-proBNP from 1395 pg/mL IQR [100-29 924] to 885 pg/mL IQR [159-4331]; P = 0.06, troponin-I levels from 0.05 ng/mL IQR [0.013-103.0] to 0.020 ng/mL IQR [0.015-0.514]; P = 0.27). No significant change of laboratory parameters e. g. glomerular filtration rate, potassium level and creatinine levels were found in diabetes or non-diabetes patients. Comparing further echocardiography data, left atrial surface area, right atrial surface area, E/A ratio did not show a significant change either in the diabetes or non-diabetes group. However, the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion was significantly increased in non-diabetes mellitus patients (from 17 mm IQR [3-31] to 18 mm [2.5-31]; P = 0.04), and not in diabetic s patients (17.5 mm IQR [8-30] to 18 mm IQR [14-31]; P = 0.70); the systolic pulmonary artery pressure remained unchanged in both groups. During follow-up, a similar rate of ventricular tachyarrhythmias was observed in both groups. The congestion rate decreased significantly in both groups, in diabetes patients (44.4% before sacubitril/valsartan and 13.5% after 24 months treatment; P = 0.0009) and in non-diabetic patients (28.4% before sacubitril/valsartan and 8.4% after 24 months treatment; P = 0.0004). The all-cause mortality rate was. Sacubitril/valsartan reverses cardiac remodelling in non-diabetes patients. However, it reduces the congestion rate in diabetes and non-diabetes patients. The rates of ventricular tachyarrhythmias were similar in DM compared with non-DM over follow-up. The mortality rate remained to be over follow-up higher in diabetes patients compared with non-diabetes; however, it was lower compared with published data on diabetes and concomitant HFrEF not treated with sacubitril/valsartan.

Sacubitril/valsartan reduces susceptibility to atrial fibrillation by improving atrial remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Sacubitril/valsartan (Sac/Val, LCZ696), the world's first angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNi), has been widely used in the treatment of heart failure. However, the use of Sac/Val in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), especially AF with hypertension, has been less reported. We investigated the effect of Sac/Val on atrial remodeling and hypertension-related AF.. The AF induction rate and electrophysiological characteristics of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) treated with Sac/Val or Val were detected by rapid atrial pacing and electrical mapping/optical mapping. The whole-cell patch-clamp and Western blot were used to observe electrical/structural remodeling of atrial myocytes/tissue of rats and atrium-derived HL-1 cells cultured under 40 mmHg in vitro.. Sac/Val can improve atrial structural and electrical remodeling induced by hypertension and reduce the AF susceptibility by inhibiting RAS and NEP. The above effects of Sac/Val were superior to Val alone.

Sacubitril/Valsartan Cannot Improve Cardiac Function Compared with Valsartan in Patients Suffering Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation without Systolic Heart Failure.
This study investigates the effect of sacubitril/valsartan (Sac/Val) in patients diagnosed with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) without systolic heart failure (SHF).Nonvalvular AF patients without SHF admitted to the People's Hospital of Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture from December 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled and randomly divided into Sac/Val treatment group (group T) and valsartan treatment group (group C, control). For subgroup analysis, patients were divided into subgroups with and without diastolic heart failure (DHF). After 1-month adaptive phase and subsequent 3-month treatment period, patients were followed up in the cardiology clinic. Plasma levels of biochemical markers and echocardiographic parameters before and after treatment were evaluated, and DHF scores were computed to assess diastolic function.Of 61 enrolled patients, 46 patients completed follow-up. Sac/Val treatment did not increase the percentage of sinus rhythm. Although N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) expression tended to be reduced in both groups after 3 months of treatment, the differences compared with respective baseline levels and between groups were not significant. According to subgroup analysis, although NT-proBNP expression in the subgroup with DHF was lower at follow-up compared to baseline, the difference was not statistically significant. Similarly, no marked differences in echocardiographic parameters or tissue Doppler parameters related to DHF were detected between the groups (P > 0.05). Additionally, a subgroup analysis found no significant variations in the echocardiographic measures (P > 0.05).Sac/Val is not superior to valsartan for the short-term treatment of patients suffering with AF without SHF in improving NT-proBNP level and cardiac function.

Add-on Therapy With Sacubitril/Valsartan and Clinical Outcomes in CRT-D Nonresponder Patients.
No data on the add-on sacubitril/valsartan (S/V) therapy among cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator (CRT-D) nonresponder patients are currently available in literature. We conducted a prospective observational study including 190 CRT-D nonresponder patients with symptomatic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction despite the optimal medical therapy from at least 1 year. The primary endpoint was the rate of additional responders (left ventricular end-systolic volume reduction >15%) at 12 months from the introduction of S/V therapy. At the end of the 12 months follow-up, 37 patients (19.5%) were deemed as "additional responders" to the combination use of CRT + S/V therapy. The only clinical predictor of additional response was a lower left ventricular ejection fraction [OR 0.881 (0.815-0.953), P = 0.002] at baseline. At 12 months follow-up, there were significant improvements in heart failure (HF) symptoms and functional status [New York Heart Association 2 (2-3) vs. 1 (1-2), P < 0.001; physical activity duration/day: 10 (8-12) vs. 13 (10-18) hours, P < 0.001]. Compared with the 12 months preceding S/V introduction, there were significant reductions in the rate of HF rehospitalization (35.5% vs. 19.5%, P < 0.001), in atrial tachycardia/atrial fibrillation burden [6.0 (5.0-8.0) % vs. 0 (0-2.0) %, P < 0.001] and in the proportions of patients experiencing ventricular arrhythmias (21.6% vs. 6.3%; P < 0.001). Our results indicate that S/V add-on therapy in CRT-D nonresponder patients is associated with 19.5% of additional responders, a reduction in HF symptoms and rehospitalizations, AF burden, and ventricular arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: The PARAGON-HF Trial.
In this study, the authors sought to assess the relationship between AFF and outcomes, the treatment response to sacubitril/valsartan and first-detected AFF in patients with HFpEF enrolled in the PARAGON-HF trial.. Atrial fibrillation and flutter (AFF) are common in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and increase the risk of adverse outcomes.. A total of 4,776 patients formed 3 groups: those with AFF according to electrocardiography (ECG) at enrollment (n = 1,552; 33%), those with history of AFF but without AFF on ECG at enrollment (n = 1,005; 21%), and those without history of AFF or AFF on ECG at enrollment (n = 2,219, 46%). We assessed outcomes, treatment response to sacubitril/valsartan in each group, and the risk associated with first-detected AFF in patients without any known AFF. The primary outcome was a composite of total heart failure hospitalizations and cardiovascular death.. History of AFF and AFF at enrollment were associated with higher risk of the primary outcome (risk ratio [RR]: 1.36 [95% CI: 1.12-1.65] and RR: 1.31 [1.11-1.54], respectively), than no AFF. Neither history of AFF nor AFF at enrollment modified the treatment effect of sacubitril/valsartan. Post randomization AFF occurred in 12% of patients without previous AFF and was associated with 2.8-fold higher risk of the primary outcome, but it was not influenced by sacubitril/valsartan.. History of AFF and AFF on ECG at enrollment were associated with a higher risk of the primary outcome. First-detected AFF was not influenced by sacubitril/valsartan, yet it was associated with increased risk of all subsequent outcomes and may represent a potential target for future HFpEF trials.

Sacubitril/Valsartan Decreases Atrial Fibrillation Susceptibility by Inhibiting Angiotensin II-Induced Atrial Fibrosis Through p-Smad2/3, p-JNK, and p-p38 Signaling Pathways.
Sacubitril/valsartan (SAC/VAL) prevents angiotensin II (AngII) from binding AT1-R and blocks degradation of natriuretic peptides. Despite its efficacy in reducing ventricular fibrosis and preserving cardiac functions, which has been extensively demonstrated in myocardial infarction or pressure overload models, few studies have been conducted to determine whether SAC/VAL could attenuate atrial fibrosis and decrease atrial fibrillation (AF) susceptibility. Our study provided evidence for the inhibition of atrial fibrosis and reduced susceptibility to AF by SAC/VAL. After 28 days of AngII continuous subcutaneous stimulation, rats in SAC/VAL group exhibited reduced extent of atrial fibrosis, inhibited proliferation, migration, and differentiation of atrial fibroblasts, and decreased susceptibility to AF. We further found that inhibition of p-Smad2/3, p-JNK, and p-p38MAPK pathways is involved in the role of SAC/VAL on AngII-induced atrial fibrosis in vivo. These results emphasize the importance of SAC/VAL in the prevention of AngII-induced atrial fibrosis and may help to enrich the options for AF pharmacotherapy.
