Safety and Efficacy of Sacubitril/Valsartan in Patients With a Failing Systemic Right Ventricle: A Prospective Single-Center Study.
Sacubitril/valsartan was demonstrated to reduce hospitalization rate and mortality in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Data on the effects of sacubitril/valsartan in patients with a systemic right ventricle are still lacking.. Patients with transposition of the great arteries following Senning/Mustard procedure or congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries with impaired systemic right ventricle systolic function were prospectively included. Primary end points included sacubitril/valsartan safety and efficacy. Primary efficacy end points were NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) and systolic function improvement. Secondary end points included New York Heart Association class, 6-minute walking distance, and quality of life change.. Fifty patients (38±12 years, 60% male, 35% congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries) were included and followed for 1 year. No major adverse events occurred. Two (4%) patients ceased treatment due to hypotension and 1 (2%) developed a nephrotic syndrome. The target dose was reached in 20 (42%) patients. NT-proBNP values decreased significantly immediately after treatment initiation, while returned to baseline at 1 year. Echocardiography showed progressive fractional area change increase (29.2±5.8 versus 34.9±5.1%;. Our data showed that sacubitril/valsartan is well tolerated and is associated with systemic right ventricle remodeling and improved systolic function as well as improved clinical status, supporting its use in this complex population.

The first experience with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor for the treatment of systemic right ventricular failure.
In congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, the morphological right ventricle supports the systemic circulation. This chronic exposure to pressure overload ultimately leads to systemic right ventricular (sRV) dysfunction and heart failure. Pharmacological options for the treatment of sRV failure are poorly defined and no solid recommendations are made in the most recent guidelines. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are a new class of antihyperglycaemic drugs that have been demonstrated to significantly reduce the risk of worsening heart failure and death from cardiovascular causes in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, yet no data are available in sRV patients. We report on the treatment and clinical follow-up of a patient with advanced heart failure and poor sRV function in the context of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, who did not tolerate sacubitril/valsartan and had a high burden of heart-failure-related hospitalizations. Treatment with dapagliflozin was well tolerated and resulted in (small) subjective and objective functional and echocardiographic improvement and a reduction in heart-failure-related hospitalizations.
