Patients w/ untreated decompensated heart failure. History of angioedema (Quincke's edema) associated w/ previous ACE inhibitor therapy. Hereditary/idiopathic angioedema. Hepatic encephalopathy. Hypokalemia. Severe hypotension. Shock including cardiogenic shock. Obstruction of the outflow-tract of the left ventricle (eg, high grade aortic stenosis). Hemodynamically unstable heart failure after acute MI. Extracorporeal treatments leading to contact of blood w/ negatively charged surfaces. Significant bilateral renal artery stenosis or stenosis of the artery to a single functioning kidney. Concomitant use w/ aliskiren-containing products in patients w/ DM or renal impairment (GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2); sacubitril/valsartan. Severe renal (CrCl <30 mL/min) & hepatic impairment.
