I enjoy teaching. I enjoy teaching my patients about their disease process and informing them of the options they have. I explain to patients about their options, and the procedures in as much detail as a patient wants to hear. I hope to treat every patient as I want to be treated.
What is the drug for? ENTRESTO is a drug to be taken in conjunction with other heart failure therapies for the long-term treatment of chronic heart failure. This is a condition in which the heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to meet the bodyâs needs.
Heart failure is a serious condition, but it does not mean that the heart has stopped beating. Entresto combines two compounds: valsartan (which is currently sold by Novartis under the name DiovanÂ®) and a new drug, sacubitril.4 Each drug works in a different chemical pathway to reduce the workload on a failing heart.
