Entresto update

[Twinkletoes64]

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

[Twinkletoes64 in reply to wishIwasbetter]

Aaah well that’s good news…I know it well that it’s a bit of a journey to find what really works for you🌞

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

[Twinkletoes64 in reply to Rnba]

Hiya,yep think it was just under a year🌞

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?

[am1875]

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

[Twinkletoes64 in reply to am1875]

At the moment am still recovering from abdominal surgery so hard to tell until I’m a bit further down the line…but fingers crossed it’ll carry on rising!🌞

You say medium dose. How many mg? Which dose were you taking?Im on 100mg since 5 weeks. My ef dropped recently to 40 from 49 hence the switch. Hoping to get it back.

How long had you been on entresto?

[Twinkletoes64 in reply to dg2024]

Hi,am on 24/26mg twice daily…I went up to double this dose and had too many side effects….been on it about a year and a half…am sticking with this dose

[dg2024 in reply to Twinkletoes64]

Any progress?

[Twinkletoes64]

Yes have gone initially from 30% up to 54% after recent echocardiogram results!
