Key result
In 58 patients with acute STEMI treated with PCI, sacubitril/valsartan improved cardiac function and lowered cTnI and NT-proBNP levels at 1 week compared to enalapril.
Why the study?
Ventricular remodeling after acute STEMI predicts medium- and long-term prognosis, prompting a comparison of sacubitril/valsartan and enalapril to guide clinical treatment.
Does sacubitril/valsartan improve early ventricular remodeling and cardiac function compared to enalapril in patients with acute STEMI treated with PCI?
Cohort (n=58)
Does sacubitril/valsartan improve early ventricular remodeling and cardiac function compared to enalapril in patients with acute STEMI treated with PCI?
Sacubitril/valsartan improves cardiac function and inhibits early ventricular remodeling more effectively than enalapril in patients with acute STEMI following PCI.
May support early sacubitril/valsartan use post-STEMI PCI; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm remodeling benefit.
Ventricular remodeling (VR) after acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an important predictor for medium- and long-term prognosis. This study focuses on the relevant indexes of VR in patients with AMI, in which, the intervention effects of sacubitril/valsartan and enalapril were compared, guiding the clinical treatment. 58 patients with acute STEMI treated with PCI were divided into research group and control group. UCG was performed at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after MI, and the patients' indexes were collected to compare VR and adverse reactions in the two groups. The test results showed that there was no statistical difference in the baseline data of patients in the two groups, which were comparable. In the blood biochemical index examination, no statistical difference was found in cTnI and NT-proBNP between the two groups. At 1 week after operation, the levels of cTnI and NT-proBNP in research group were lower than those in the control group. In ECG examination, there was no statistical significance in the levels of LVEF, LVEDD and LVESD at admission between the two groups. After 1 week, the results of LVEF, LVEDD, LVESD in the research group were higher than those in the control group. The results of this study show that sacubitril/valsartan can be used in patients with AMI instead of enalapril. Sacubitril/valsartan improves cardiac function in patients with emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for AMI, inhibits ventricular remodeling, and has a low incidence of adverse cardiac events and adverse drug reactions.

Fan et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (n=58). sacubitril/valsartan vs. enalapril was evaluated on ventricular remodeling indexes (LVEF, LVEDD, LVESD, cTnI, NT-proBNP) and adverse reactions. In 58 patients with acute STEMI treated with PCI, sacubitril/valsartan improved cardiac function and lowered cTnI and NT-proBNP levels at 1 week compared to enalapril.
