Abstract:Neprilysin (NEP) is an enzyme present in several body cells and is involved in the degradation of natriuretic peptides (NPs), bradykinin (BK), and adrenomedullin (ADM). Furthermore, sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696), the first agent of Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibitor (ARNI), has been developed to inhibit both Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS) and NEP. This study, therefore, aimed to discuss the role of sacubitril/valsartan in inhibiting the progression of heart failure (HF) by influencing the R… Show more
