Read about this drug a few weeks ago. It had been used in diabetes but has only been approved for heart failure in November 2020.
Was surprised to find yesterday, at my Heart Failure nurses appt that I’m being prescribed this drug and I’m so excited! (Sad, I know!)
I’ve been on Entresto for a couple of years and it has worked wonders : Ed up from 15% to 50%, but adding this new one to my daily cocktail sounds very positive.
I’ll report bac
Good luck with the new treatment, sounds like you, really positive.
Hello
Its 18 Feb, and today im seeinh my HF Nurse at 3.45pm to replace ramipril with Entresto.
I have heart failure recently diagnosed, im 48 years old, i dont smoke or drink alcohol. My ef 24%.
I wanted to ask how long it from 15% to 50% with Entresto (that’s excellent news). This is so good news that this drug can improve rhe ef. I am abit anxious about low BP but we will wait and see.
I will ask my HF nurse about the new drug aswell.
Good luck with the new drug and i hope it works well with you.
All very best
Take care
Thank you again for letting know about the new drug

@Khan29uk, I was diagnosed about five years ago with AF, HF and DCM. At first I was in shock and I’ve had many ups and downs along the way. My bo has always been low so I was started on Entresto in hospital so they could keep an eye. My medication has been chopped and changed over the years but now I feel fine and sometimes walk as far as four miles which I would never have believed before. Good luck with your journey x
Hello

Take care

I'll be interested to know how you get on. My consultant is recommending me for Entresto, but when I said my last blood test showed I'm borderline Type2, he mentioned a diabetes drug now being used for heart failure - obviously Dapa. Good luck with yours
