Patients with heart failure (HF) and advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) constitute a special population that experience poor outcomes due to poor adherence to established therapies because of potential safety concerns.

We report two cases of HF with reduced ejection fraction, who received ARNI in advanced stage of CKD (stage 5) and achieved remarkable outcomes in terms of quality of life and longevity.
