<abstract language="eng">The purpose of this report is to describe effectiveness and tolerability of medical treatment with sacubitril/valsartan in a patient treated with hemodialysis. We describe the case of a 68-year-old man with heart failure with ejection fraction more than 60%, that is HFpEF undergoing hemodialysis. He had several times heart failure due to diastolic dysfunction, he could tolerate a dose of 50/50mg, total 100mg daily. After initiation of sacubitril/valsartan, there was a symptomatic improvement with clear reduction NT-proBNP, left atrial dimension, E/e¡¯ as well as EF. In conclusion, in this patient with diastoric dysfunction undergoing hemodialysis, treatment with sacubitril/valsartan was effective, safe, and improved heart failure symptoms.</abstract>
