摘要

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) and sacubitril-valsartan in the sequential treatment of acute heart failure (AHF) in older individuals. Methods: Clinical data from 64 older patients with AHF were collected for this study. The patients were divided into two groups: a control group (Group A, n = 34) and an observation group (Group B, n = 30) based on different treatment regimens. Group A received rhBNP treatment, while Group B received sequential treatment with rhBNP and Sacubitril-Valsartan. The evaluation of the sequential treatment’s effect on older patients with AHF was conducted using various indicators. Results: The clinical efficacy rate in Group A (93.33%) was significantly higher than that in Group A (73.53%), with a significant difference observed (P < 0.05). Furthermore, after treatment, the clinical efficacy remained significantly higher in Group B than in Group A. Group B exhibited a significantly higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and significantly lower systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate compared to Group A (P < 0.05). Although the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was lower in Group B after treatment, the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.127). Moreover, post-treatment levels of NT-proBNP were significantly lower in Group B compared to Group A (P = 0.01). Additionally, Group B had shorter hospitalization times, faster improvement in clinical symptoms, and further 6-minute walking distances after the treatment compared to Group A (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Sequential treatment with rhBNP and Sacubitril-Valsartan demonstrates promising therapeutic effects in older patients with AHF, suggesting its potential for broader adoption and promotion in clinical practice.
