Entresto update

Just wanted to say my E/F has gone up from 30% to 54% on the lowest dose of Entresto,so it can be done! I tried the middle dose but didn’t get on with it at all….too many side effects.

I had an MRI just before Christmas and just received the 54% result…very very pleased!

I realise it’s not the same for everyone,but so glad I trusted my gut on this one!❤️

I am glad it worked for you. It put me in A&E and I was told by Specialist it was not agreeing with me and to stop it. Mine has improved though and they put it down to my new pacemaker

congratulations. How often have you had you e/f tested. Mine has not been for nearly a year and so do not know what my entresto has done for me

Same good news for me. EF increased from 30% to 40% after one year to 60% now three years later. I believe regular exercise and being prescribed Farxiga have also contributed to the improvement. I take the 49/51 dosage of Entresto. If you have not already checked it out, look into their patient assistance program. Very liberal income requirements.

Hiya,that’s good to know…sorry I don’t understand what you mean about patient assistance programme?

Awesome! Aside from your ef going up, does it make you feel considerably better? Cheers!
