Abstract
Objectives
To explore the effects of early application of sacubitril/valsartan on ventricular remodeling and prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods
Total of 295 patients with AMI admitted to the hospital were enrolled between August 2019 and August 2021. According to different treatment methods, they were divided into observation group (sacubitril/valsartan sodium tables combined with standard treatment, 132 patients) and control group (benazepril hydrochloride tablets combined with standard treatment, 163 patients). The levels of plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), creatinine (Cr) and serum K+ before and at 6 months after treatment, standard deviation of all normal-to-normal intervals (SDNN), standard deviation of the average all normal-to-normal intervals (SDANN), root mean square of differences between adjacent normal-to-normal intervals/root mean square differences of successive R-R (RMSSD), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) in the two groups were compared. The adverse reactions during treatment and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during 6 months of follow-up in both groups were statistically analyzed.
Results
The levels of NT-proBNP, Cr and K+, LVEDV and LVESV in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (P < 0.05), while LVEF, SDNN, SDANN and RMSSD were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of MACE in observation group was lower than that in control group during 6 months of follow-up (7.58 % vs 27.61 %, P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions (9.85 % vs 12.88 %, P > 0.05).
Conclusion
Early application of sacubitril/valsartan sodium can effectively delay ventricular remodeling, improve cardiac function and heart rate variability indexes, reduce NT-proBNP level and improve prognosis in AMI patients.
期刊介绍:
Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is an international peer reviewed open access journal that publishes articles pertaining to all aspects of clinical trials, including, but not limited to, design, conduct, analysis, regulation and ethics. Manuscripts submitted should appeal to a readership drawn from a wide range of disciplines including medicine, life science, pharmaceutical science, biostatistics, epidemiology, computer science, management science, behavioral science, and bioethics. Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is unique in that it is outside the confines of disease specifications, and it strives to increase the transparency of medical research and reduce publication bias by publishing scientifically valid original research findings irrespective of their perceived importance, significance or impact. Both randomized and non-randomized trials are within the scope of the Journal. Some common topics include trial design rationale and methods, operational methodologies and challenges, and positive and negative trial results. In addition to original research, the Journal also welcomes other types of communications including, but are not limited to, methodology reviews, perspectives and discussions. Through timely dissemination of advances in clinical trials, the goal of Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is to serve as a platform to enhance the communication and collaboration within the global clinical trials community that ultimately advances this field of research for the benefit of patients.
