New hope for hidden heart risk? drug trial targets silent blood flow problem

NCT ID NCT05711719

Summary

This study tested whether a drug called vericiguat could improve the function of tiny blood vessels in the heart for people with metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure and high blood sugar. Forty-five participants were randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo for about 6-10 weeks. Researchers used heart scans and blood tests to see if the drug helped the small arteries in the heart expand and allow better blood flow during stress.
