Have you gone on the Entresto? If so how has it been going? My husband's cardiologist has just suggested for him (he is on many of the same drugs you mentioned). He is also a candidate for the MBD. How has that gone for you? Do you have any restrictions? My husband is active outside and avid golfer. Thanks much for your input!

Welcome to Connect, @jschwarz. We're so glad you've reached out to the Connect community with your questions. Here's some information from Mayo Clinic about Entresto: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/sacubitril-and-valsartan-oral-route/description/drg-20150920

@fr0ggie, you mentioned being on Entresto; I'm certain @jschwarz, and others in this discussion, would appreciate any insights you might have.

@jschwarz, could you tell us a bit more about your husband? Has he been diagnosed with a chronic heart condition? How is he coping currently?
