Correct answer: B) sacubitril/valsartan. The PARAGLIDE-HF trial saw significantly lower BNP levels compared to valsartan alone and a trend towards clinical outcome improvements. This has lead to a recommendation of Entresto being considered for patients with HFpEF with an EF <60%

[Mitchell Edwards, DO FACP @MedwardsMed22]

Which of the following therapies for a patient with HFpEF (EF 55%) reduces BNP levels compared to valsartan?

A) metoprolol succinate
B) lisinopril
C) sacubitril/valsartan
D) digoxin

Well, the one person who voted got it right! Only a CT head (to rule out intracranial hemorrhage) and POC glucose (to rule out hypoglycemia causing stroke like symptoms) are required prior to IV thrombolysis for the management of ischemic stroke.
