Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are at high risk of heart failure (HF) and both share similar risk factors, including diabetes and elevated blood Pressure (B.P). Aim of this study was to determine the impact of sacubitril/valsartan on the quality of life (QOL) and ejection fraction (EF) of patients with HF with and without CKD. ⋯ Sacubitril/ valsartan improves QOL in patients of HF with reduced EF both with and without CKD. Clinical improvement was independent of Left Ventricular EF as measured by QOL. Thus, QOL is a useful tool to assess the drug's beneficial effect.
