How it works

Sacubitril inhibits neprilysin, increasing levels of beneficial natriuretic peptides leading to vasodilation and reduced fluid overload. Valsartan blocks angiotensin II (AT1) receptors, reducing vasoconstriction and aldosterone effects. Together they lower cardiac workload and improve heart failure outcomes.
