Sacubitril-Valsartan for Cardiac Protection During Breast Cancer Therapy: Insights from the PRADA II Trial

The PRADA II trial evaluated sacubitril-valsartan for preventing cardiac dysfunction during anthracycline-based breast cancer therapy. While it did not significantly preserve left ventricular ejection fraction, improvements in myocardial strain and cardiac biomarkers suggest a potential role in cardioprotection.
