LCZ696: first ARNI (angiotensin receptor

 LCZ696 is a saline-crystalline complex
created by fusion that contains 2 active
parts :,1-3
– Sacubitril (AHU377) – prodrug
metabolized to metabolite LBQ657
which is an active neprilysin inhibitor
– Valsartan : blocks the angiotensin II type-
1 (AT1) receptor
– Both parts are in their anionic forms,
sodium cations and water molecules:
Ratio 1:1 molar
– Offers a higher bioavailability of
valsartan than valsartan given alone (
100 mg =160 mg)1. Bloch, Basile. J Clin Hypertens 2010;12:809–12; 2. Gu et al. J Clin Pharmacol

LCZ696: effective across the LVEF spectrum non
modificated by any endpoint
Younger / male / NYHA III/IV Less history of hypertension, MI, or AF
Lower systolic BP > creatinine
More presence of ICD or CRT, More treated with diuretics, digoxin, and a MRA
Lower EF patients

• Increases with age…..from 13,4 to 14.8 across the age categories
• Less pronounced in PARADIGM-HF than in prior trials (CHARM, SHIFT, DIG)
• Most marked for death from any cause and non-CV death (greatest difference)
than for strictly CV death.
Rate of death and heart failure hospitalization (per 100 patients-year) “gradient”
These findings suggest that “effective disease-modifying
drugs” may have attenuated the age-related gradient in CV
events (Vs. historical studies)
Effect of age in PARADIGM -HF
• Hypotension, renal impairment and hyperkalemia increased in both groups with age
• Differences between treatments were consistent across age categories
• More hypotension but less renal impairment and hyperkalemia with LCZ696

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Articulo: Epidemiología de la insuficiencia cardiaca en España en los últimos 20 años( revista española de cardiología REC) 1991 hasta la estimación del 1 de enero de 2012, la población española mayor de 65 años pasó de 5.370.252 a 8.029.674 habitantes, un incremento del 50%. Del mismo modo se vio incrementada la esperanza de vida de nuestros mayores en 1-2 años. Por ello, cabe postular que los avances en el tratamiento de la cardiopatía isquémica y el mejor control de la presión arterial han conseguido reducir la mortalidad de los pacientes, a expensas de que los supervivientes queden con disfunción ventricular izquierda e IC. IC ha sido causa del 3-5% de los ingresos hospitalarios en nuestro medio, y es la primera causa de hospitalización de mayores de 65 años. Incidencia en españa, solo hay un estudio del 2000 realizado en cadiz donde se vio,  el criteiro de tener o no IC se basó en los criterios clínicos de Framingham. La incidencia encontrada fue de 2,96/1.000 personas-año en 2000 y 3,90/1.000 personas-año en 2007. Prevalencia en España (estudio PRICE):  se describe una prevalencia de IC del 6,8%, similar en varones y mujeres. Por edades, la prevalencia fue del 1,3% entre los 45 y los 54 años, del 5,5% entre los 55 y los 64, del 8% entre los 65 y los 75 y del 16,1% entre los mayores de 7515. El envejecimiento de la población puede aumentar un 25% la prevalencia de IC en 2030 La insuficiencia cardiaca en un problema sanitario de primer orden en nuestro país, aunque no disponemos de cifras que permitan dimensionar su impacto con exactitud por falta de estudios con diseño apropiado. Frente a una prevalencia de insuficiencia cardiaca del 2% en otros países europeos y en Estados Unidos, los estudios en España arrojan cifras del 5%, probablemente a causa de sus limitaciones metodológicas. La insuficiencia cardiaca consume enormes recursos sanitarios: es la primera causa de hospitalización de mayores de 65 años y representa el 3% de todos los ingresos hospitalarios y el 2,5% del coste de la asistencia sanitaria. Hay dos patrones de insuficiencia cardiaca, uno con función sistólica preservada, más asociado a la hipertensión, y otro con función deprimida, más relacionado con la cardiopatía isquémica. En 2010, la insuficiencia cardiaca constituyó el 3% del total de defunciones de varones y el 10% de las de mujeres. La tasa de mortalidad por insuficiencia cardiaca ha ido reduciéndose en los últimos años. Los cambios temporales en la codificación diagnóstica podrían explicar parte del aumento en los ingresos hospitalarios y del descenso en la mortalidad por insuficiencia cardiaca, aunque hay indicios de que la adherencia a las guías de práctica clínica puede haber reducido su mortalidad.

  • #6 Los PN descubiertos en los años 30, son liberados por el corazon y en sangre actuan como hormonas. ANP( sintetizado en auricula), CNP( endotelio) y BNP (pared ventricular) En el contexto de la expansión de volumen o la sobrecarga de presión, el estrés de la pared resultante inicia la síntesis de pre-proBNP en el miocardio ventricula El BNP es el de vida media mas larga por eso se usa como marcador, aunque A yC tb tienen efectos potentes. El BNP se sintetiza ppalmente en el ventriculo. Corina y furina degrada proBNP en NT-proBNP y BNP
