Purpose: The aim of our study is to investigate clinical changes (complaints, functional class, etc.) and echocardiographic effects in patients with chronic heart failure after six months of treatment with traditional complex treatment of chronic heart failure with the addition of sacubitril/valsartan.
Methods: The study included 30 patients over the age of 61 who suffered from chronic heart failure among the population of Baku, Azerbaijan. (21 males, 9 females, 69.3 ± 1.3 - middle age). The study evaluated the clinical indications and transthoracic echocardiography results of the patients prior to admission of the sacubitril/valsartan complex and 6 months after taking it.
Results: In the evaluation of the results of the echocardiographic examination and clinical indications (complains, functional class and etc.) 6 months after the use of the sacubitril/ valsartan combination in patients, positive changes were found in the majority of patients compared with the indications of previous 6 months.
