Hello

Just a query how long did it take you get to 97/103mg and what else do you take ?? 4% to 15%. is a good improvement how long have you been on Entresto ? ? Only side effect so far for me is lower Blood Pressure 108/66 HR 58 that is on the 49/51mg. I also take Statin, Bisoprolol 7.5mg., Aspirin, Eplenerone , Did they suggest/fit a Pacemaker at 4 %

Oh I see, what makes you take the Entresto then and nothing else ??

I have read your profile not often I meet anyone with a death wish. but wish you well. Now I feel like I need to edit the comment with some additional information from a previous post by you. You say you have been offered a Transplant but decided against is that still the case now ? Now that you know your EF has improved so much with Entresto do you not feel it may be worth it

Did you ever get offered Psychiatric Assistance from the Transplant Coordinator ?? That is not an insult but a serious question.
