Can you stop taking Entresto after mitral valve replacement if your left ventricular hypertrophy has gotten better?

This is a decision that needs to be made carefully with your cardiologist. Even if your left ventricular hypertrophy has improved after valve replacement, stopping Entresto isn't something to do on your own.

Can you stop taking Entresto after mitral valve replacement if your left ventricular hypertrophy has gotten better?

This is a decision that needs to be made carefully with your cardiologist. Even if your left ventricular hypertrophy has improved after valve replacement, stopping Entresto isn't something to do on your own.

Your doctor will consider several factors:

* How well your heart is functioning overall
* Whether you have any remaining heart failure symptoms
* Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction)
* Other heart conditions you may have
* Risk of future heart problems

After valve replacement surgeries, follow-up appointments typically include imaging tests like echocardiograms to check how your heart is healing and functioning. These tests help your doctor determine if medication adjustments are appropriate.

Some people may be able to reduce or stop certain medications if their heart function has significantly improved and stabilized. However, others may need to continue treatment long-term to protect their heart and prevent future complications.

Never stop taking Entresto or adjust your dosage without talking to your healthcare provider first, as sudden changes could affect your heart function.
