To assess the impact of sacubitril-valsartan on apneic burden in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), 51 stable HFrEF patients planned for switching from an ACE-i/ARB to sacubitril-valsartan were prospectively enrolled. ⋯ Sacubitril-valsartan on top of medical treatment is associated with a reduction in the apneic burden among a real-life cohort of HFrEF patients. The most marked reduction was observed for central apneas.
