Target Dose Bisoprolol:10 mg daily Entresto: Sacubitril 97/103mg BID Spironolactone: 50mg daily (may be No target doses, but can consider
Carvedilol: ≤85kg → 25mg BID Lisinoprol: 20mg daily divided BID) increased dose if pt has uncontrolled

Contraindications Cardiogenic shock, heart block ACEi/Entresto: angioedema with eGFR <30, symptomatic eGFR <30, symptomatic hypotension
ACEi or ARB hypotension, hyperkalemia
Use of aliskiren
Use of concomitant Entresto or ACEi
within 36hrs of each other
Pregnancy
Adverse Effects Bradycardia, bronchospasm, fatigue, Cough (increased with ACEi), Gynecomastia (increased with spiro), Genital yeast infections, AKI, risk of
masking of hypoglycemia, hypotension, dizziness, hyperkalemia, GI sx (cramps, lower limb amputations
withdrawal if stopped abruptly hyperkalemia, angioedema diarrhea, ulcers, N/V)
(tachycardia, HTN, ischemia)
Monitoring BP, HR, BG, ECG BP, SCr, UOP, electrolytes (K) BP, SCr, UOP, electrolytes (K) BG, SCr, UOP
Pearls Carvedilol= nonselective (will have a Entresto has been shown to have Spironolactone is more affordable, *Proven mortality benefit in HFpEF
greater effect on BP) highest efficacy but has more mineralocorticoid
*Proven mortality benefit in HFpEF effects
