The aim of the present study was to determine whether the dual inhibition of neprilysin and angiotensin II\u2014sacubitril\/valsartan (ARNI) can modify anxiety-like behavior in male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). We compared ARNI with two other drugs in the portfolio of heart failure treatment, captopril and ivabradine. Six groups (n = 13) of 12-week-old rats were treated for six weeks: control (Wistar rats), control + ARNI, SHR, SHR + ARNI, SHR + captopril, and SHR + ivabradine. The elevated plus maze test, the open field test, and the light\u2013dark box test were used to determine anxiety-like behavior. SHRs exhibited higher systolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate (HR), left ventricular weight (LVW), and hydroxyproline concentration (LVHP) but displayed a reduced level of anxiety-like behavior in comparison to controls. ARNI reduced SBP, HR, and LVW but had no significant effect on the level of anxiety in SHR, and similar results were achieved by captopril and ivabradine. Additionally, correlation analysis indicated that anxiety-like behavior in Wistar rats or SHR, either with or without cardiovascular therapy, was independent of SBP, HR, LVW, or LVHP. The level of anxiety-like behavior can, therefore, be considered part of the inherent neurobehavioral traits unrelated to fundamental hemodynamic or structural cardiovascular parameters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms262210905","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,10]],"date-time":"2025-11-10T15:07:31Z","timestamp":1762787251000},"page":"10905","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Effect of Sacubitril\/Valsartan, Ivabradine, and Captopril on Anxiety-like Behavior in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-4240-8069","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Szighardtova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathophysiology, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, 811 08 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Silvia","family":"Aziriova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathophysiology, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, 811 08 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1509-3794","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Stanko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathophysiology, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, 811 08 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7235-1710","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kristina","family":"Repova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathophysiology, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, 811 08 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4752-9828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomas","family":"Baka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathophysiology, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, 811 08 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kristina","family":"Krajcirovicova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathophysiology, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, 811 08 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Zorad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Experimental Endocrinology, Biomedical Research Center, Slovak Academy of Sciences, 845 05 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3320-9735","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michaela","family":"Adamcova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, 500 03 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9337-8843","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Sabaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectiology and Geographical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, 813 72 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7014-9626","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Veronika","family":"Borb\u00e9lyov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Molecular Biomedicine, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, 811 08 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fedor","family":"Simko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathophysiology, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, 811 08 Bratislava, Slovakia"},{"name":"Institute of Experimental Endocrinology, Biomedical Research Center, Slovak Academy of Sciences, 845 05 Bratislava, Slovakia"},{"name":"3rd Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, 833 05 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Apostolos, A., Konstantinou, K., Ktenopoulos, N., Vlachakis, P.K., Skalidis, I., Chrysostomidis, G., Panoulas, V., and Tsioufis, K.
