heart failure medication - entresto

[harryhallam5]

Hi everyone , I don't usualy post any comments although I do read the posts of other people- I would like to share my experience with you .

I suffered 2 heart attacks 5 years ago and spent 8 days in hospital then had 4 stents and a ballon inserted successfully , unfortunately last year I developed severe heart failure with a refraction rate of 30% after more investigation and more scans etc I was put on a starter dose of Entresto medication gradualy increased to max dose - I have found this medication wonderfull for my condition - I know that it is a fairly new med but for me it has been a life changer, I know I will be on this for the rest of my life - but now I feel as if my life has been given back to me and quality has been renewed - so my message is that there is always light at the end of the darkest tunnel and new and more effective medicatios are just around the corner - so try to be possitive even when you are in a dark place ,

Just back from seeing Het Failure Nurse, she has started me on Entresto from Thursday Night need to get the Canardesartan out of the system first. This follows a few hours overnight in Hospital with multiple Ectopic Beats 1 Ectopic for every 1 Heart Beat and Low pulse 30s. I have to keep on with all other meds Bisoprolol 10mg Furosemide 20mg Eplerenone 25mg Clopidogrel 75mg, Aspirin, 75mg Pravastatin, 10mg, Isosorbide Mono nitrate 40mg I am hoping if the Entresto works OK I will be able to dump some of the other Meds

Regards

I hope that Entresto is good for you, if you have the same results as myself you are sure to be pleased, it will be a while before you are on the ultimate dosage, so the very best of luck with it take care H Hallam
