By week 4, improvements in plasma NT-proBNP levels were already being seen vs the comparator group, and this was sustained through week 24 Treatment history did not have an impact on NT-proBNP ...

Moreover, NT-proBNP did not significantly modify the neutral treatment effect of sacubitril/valsartan relative to ramipril (P for interaction = .46), researchers reported.

Importantly, NT-proBNP can be used for early (3 months after treatment initiation) assessment of cardiac response, also allowing for rapid adjustments of the therapeutic strategy. Nevertheless, there ...
