Abstract:

Heart failure (HF) has become a major global medical burden. Despite the existence of several drugs for the treatment of HF, the prognosis is still not optimistic, which motivates us to seek new treatments for this disease. Vericiguat, a novel soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator, has been approved for use in patients with heart failure. Cardiac remodeling is the important pathophysiological basis of cardiovascular disease occurrence and development, and closely related to the prognosis of patients. Accumulating evidence suggests that vericiguat inhibits cardiac remodeling, but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanism of action of vericiguat will be important for future studies of this drug as a potential therapy for slowing the severity of heart failure. This article reviews the mechanism and research status of the inhibitory effect of Vericiguat on cardiac remodeling.

Key words: heart failure, vericiguat, cardiac remodeling, research progress
