This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded, single-center efficacy study of acutely decompensated heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), low cardiac index (<2.2) as determined by pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) who have been hemodynamically stabilized and ready for transition to oral vasodilator therapy at the discretion of the clinician. The investigators would like to accomplish the following objectives with this study:
This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded, single-center efficacy study of acutely decompensated heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), low cardiac index (<2.2) as determined by pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) who have been hemodynamically stabilized and ready for transition to oral vasodilator therapy at the discretion of the clinician. The investigators would like to accomplish the following objectives with this study:
In this pragmatic study, the primary endpoint will be establishing the superiority of sacubitril-valsartan as an oral vasodilator in maintaining ARNI therapy at one-month post hospital discharge as compared to usual care. Given the overall mortality and heart failure hospitalization benefit of ARNI over ACEI and other vasodilators has been established in large-scale clinical trials, establishing that upfront initiation of ARNI therapy in patients with low cardiac output is safe and can be maintained post-discharge would be of significant clinical benefit. Adverse events including symptomatic hypotension (requiring cessation of drug), development of worsening renal function (requiring cessation of drug), hyperkalemia [moderate (> 5.5 mmol/L) or severe (> 6 mmol/L)], or re-initiation of IV vasodilator or IV inotropic therapy will be monitored and tracked.
