What did studies of Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors find?

2

Studies of Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors measured 2 outcomes; the most studied are contrast-associated acute kidney injury (1 study) and heart failure (1).

Contrast-associated acute kidney injury

no changein humans1OR 0.548

1 study
  1. Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors have no effect on contrast-associated acute kidney injury in humans (OR 0.548; p=0.127).

    “whereas ARNI alone (OR 0.548; p=0.127) and SGLT-2 inhibitor alone (OR 0.782; p=0.423) were not independently associated.”

    In heart failure patients, is ARNI and SGLT-2 inhibitor use protective against contrast-associated acute kidney injury?

What is Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors linked with?

3

Studies link Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors with 3 measures, most often mortality (1 study), heart failure hospitalization (1) and renal impairment (1).

Mortality

ESC Congress 2026 Abstract

Empagliflozin reduced heart chamber volumes alongside other drugs

Over 36 weeks, empagliflozin reduced the heart’s main pumping chamber’s volume after contraction by 6.0 milliliters per square meter of body surface area versus placebo.Over 36 weeks, empagliflozin reduced the heart’s main pumping chamber’s volume after contraction by 6.0 milliliters per square meter of body surface area versus placebo.
