Summary

The study is aimed to evaluate the improvement of the left ventricular volumes and of the left ventricular ejection fraction in a population of ICD patients with heart failure and left ventricle systolic dysfunction undergoing therapy with Sacubitril/Valsartan (according to current Guidelines), during a 6-month follow-up.

Detailed description

Consecutive, unselected patients with heart failure and left ventricle systolic dysfunction, carrying a single-chamber or a bicameral implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) for primary prevention of sudden death, undergoing therapy with Sacubitril/Valsartan (according to current Guidelines) will be enrolled in the study. A two-dimensional echocardiogram with evaluation of left ventricular end-diastolic volume, left ventricular end-systolic volume, and left ventricular ejection fraction will be performed, according to standard clinical practice, at the beginning of the observation, and at a 6-month follow-up. The improvement of the left ventricle volumes and of the left ventricular ejection fraction will be evaluated.
