Sacubitril / valsartan

Heart MCN Key Message

All new initiations of sacubitril/valsartan must be discussed on an individual patient basis with a consultant with special interest in heart failure. For safety reasons, every patient commenced on sacubitril/valsartan should be under the care of the Heart Failure Liaison Nurses through-out the initiation and up-titration phase.

NHSGGC guidelines on Sacubitril/Valsartan are available on Staffnet
