About this trial
Prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Sacubitril/Valsartan (Sac/Vals) compared to no initiation of the drug in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (LVEF ≤40%). The primary objective is to determine the impact of Sac/Vals treatment on systolic function by assessing the change in LVEF on echocardiogram at 12-month follow-up.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients ≥ 18 years of age of both sexes.
Patients diagnosed with ATTR cardiac amyloidosis as indicated in guidelines, both in its hereditary form (ATTRv) or wild-type form (ATTRwt).
Patients initially evaluated or under follow-up in Cardiomyopathy/Heart Failure/Amyloidosis Units at participating centers.
Heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: LVEF ≤40%, in functional class I, II, or III according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA).
Disqualifiers
NYHA Functional Class IV.
Stage 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease (creatinine clearance by CKD-EPI <30 mL/min/1.73m²).
Hyperkalemia (blood potassium levels > 5.4 mmol/L).
Hypotension defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) <100 mmHg on two consecutive measurements.
