Effects of Sacubitril/Valsartan According to Natriuretic Peptide Levels in Patients Enrolled in PARADIGM-HF and PARAGON-HF

The relative risk reductions with sacubitril/valsartan were consistent irrespective of NT-proBNP level in HF patients across the range of LVEF. Consequently, the absolute risk reductions were greatest in patients with higher NT-proBNP levels.
