Popis: Sacubitril/valsartan (S–V) has been shown to reduce clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This benefit has been mostly attributed to an improvement in systolic function. This study aimed to evaluate longitudinal changes in several echocardiographic parameters of diastolic function in a cohort of patients with HFrEF receiving S–V. Echocardiographic parameters of consecutive patients receiving S–V, such as diastolic dysfunction (DD) grade and other individual diastolic and systolic function parameters, were prospectively collected at baseline and at 6-month follow-up. New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class was also recorded. 65 patients (73.9% males; 61.5 ± 13 years) with HFrEF in NYHA class II–IV were evaluated. There was a significant reduction in DD grade after treatment with maximal tolerated doses (p
