Abstract: Objective To analyze the efficacy of sacubitril/valsartan in patients with chronic heart failure and its effect on cardiac function, serum sirtuin-4 (Sirtuin-4) and Beclin-1 levels. Methods Sixty chronic heart failure patients treated from January 2019 to September 2021 in Inner Mongolia International Mongolian hospital were investigated. According to random number table, patients were divided into control group (n=30, benazepril group) and observation group (n=30, sacubitril/valsartan group). The levels of left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), serum sirtuin-4 and beclin-1 before and after treatment, the total effective rate, the number of hospitalizations, the average length of stay and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results The effective treatment rate in the observation group was higher than control group (P<0.05). Before treatment, the levels of LVEF, LVESV and LVEDV between the two groups were not significantly different (P>0.05), and after treatment, the levels of LVEF, LVESV and LVEDV in the two groups were higher than those before treatment, and the levels of LVEF, LVESV and LVEDV in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Before treatment, serum Sirtuin-4 and Beclin-1 levels between groups were not significantly different (P>0.05); after treatment, serum Sirtuin-4 and Beclin-1 levels in the observation group were lower than control group (P<0.05). The number of hospitalizations and the average hospitalization days in the observation group were less than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Sacubitril/valsartan has a definite curative effect in the treatment of chronic heart failure. It can improve the heart function of patients, reduce the serum levels of Sirtuin-4 and Beclin-1, and reduce the number of hospitalizations and the average length of hospitalization in patients, which is safe and worthy of clinical application.
