ENTRESTO® is designed specifically to treat heart failure (HF)1-3 

ENTRESTO has a dual MOA that targets 2 complementary HF pathways1-3 
Graphic showing the dual mechanism of action of Entresto. Valsartan, RAS inhibition: decreased vasoconstriction, reduced sodium and water retention, and reduced hypertrophy and fibrosis. Sacubitril, Neprilysin inhibition: increased vasodilation, increased natriuresis/diuresis, reduced hypertrophy and fibrosis.

Blocking 1 pathway with ACEi/ARB is not enough

*In PARAGON-HF, defined as LVEF ≥45% with structural heart disease (LAE or LVH); median LVEF was 57%. LVEF is a variable measure and the normal range can vary.1

Definitions  
ACEi, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB, angiotensin II receptor blocker; HFpEF, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; HFrEF, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MOA, mechanism of action; RAS, renin-angiotensin system.
