Clinical, Journal: Heart failure therapy: the fifth card. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 24, 2023 In the VICTORIA study, the molecule vericiguat, a soluble guanylate cyclase activator, was shown to reduce the composite outcome of death from cardiovascular causes and first hospitalization for HF in a high-risk population. An additional randomized clinical trial (VICTOR) is ongoing to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vericiguat in a population with HF on optimized therapy and with no recent episodes of stabilization.

Journal: Vericiguat for the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 19, 2023 Almost 90% of the patients with HFrEF were adherent to the 10 mg dose of vericiguat in the VICTORIA trial with a favorable tolerability and safety profile. Considering the high residual risk that persists in HFrEF, vericiguat has a role to improve outcomes among patients with worsening HFrEF.

Review, Journal: Management of Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 28, 2023 Specific groups of patients with HFrEF may also be candidates for various device therapies such as implanted cardioverter defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy and transcatheter mitral valve repair. This review provides a comprehensive overview of drug and device management approaches for patients with HFrEF, recommendations for initiation and titrations of therapies, and challenges associated with guideline directed medical therapy in the management of patients with HFrEF.

Review, Journal: Efficacy and Safety of Vericiguat for Treatment of Heart Failure: A Systematic Review. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 28, 2023 The safety of the vericiguat, according to our review, is not up to the standards, especially with a higher dosage of vericiguat. Despite all of this, vericiguat can be a breakthrough in the treatment of heart failure as it has great potential to improve the disease severity.

(Pubmed Central) - Mar 15, 2023 This review additionally summarizes patient counseling points for its initiation and maintenance. This meta-analysis indicated that vericiguat was not an effective drug for HF; however, more clinical trials are required to verify its efficacy.

(Pubmed Central) - Mar 14, 2023 P1 This meta-analysis indicated that vericiguat was not an effective drug for HF; however, more clinical trials are required to verify its efficacy. As part of an integrative risk assessment, this study demonstrated no clinically relevant corrected QT prolongation with vericiguat 10 mg once daily at steady state.

Initial experience of early post-discharge assessment in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (ePosters Station 10) - Feb 28, 2023 - Abstract #HEARTFAILURE2023HEART_FAILURE_1555; As a secondary endpoint, the aim is to evaluate which patients are candidates for Vericiguat therapy (recent episode of heart failure decompensation requiring hospitalization and intravenous treatment)...Early evaluation after discharge in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction allows, on the one hand, adequate optimization of medical treatment, with the consequent repercussions on hospital readmissions and echocardiographic parameters, and, on the other hand, improved therapeutic adherence with a reduction in possible adverse effects. The main limitation of our study lies in the small sample size.

Review, Journal: Vericiguat: A New Hope for Heart Failure Patients. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 10, 2023 Vericiguat was approved by the FDA in January of 2021 to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization following a hospitalization for heart failure or need for outpatient IV diuretics, in adults with symptomatic chronic heart failure and ejection fraction less than 45%. In this review, we describe the chemical and mechanistic aspects, pharmacokinetics, adverse effects, and contraindications of vericiguat so as to facilitate its optimal therapeutic use.
