Initiation of treatment with sacubitril/valsartan during outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program in an octogenarian with heart failure.

We present the case of including sacubitril/valsartan in an octogenarian patient with congestive heart failure as a part of the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program. The case shows that apart from hospital use, it is worth considering including this drug during an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program, because in such conditions the patient is in frequent contact with the treatment center, so his health status may be assessed almost every day.
