24. summary
In a vigorously managed enhanced risk AMI population
compared to active therapy with ramipril:
• Sacubitril/valsartan did not result in a significantly lower
rate of CV death, heart failure hospitalization or outpatient
heart failure requiring treatment.
• Pre-specified observations of reductions in both the
investigator reports of the primary composite as well as in
the total (recurrent) adjudicated events support incremental
clinical benefits of sacubitril/valsartan.
• The safety and tolerability of sacubitril/valsartan in this AMI
population was comparable to that of the ACEi.
