Heart drug vericiguat shows promise for ACS patients with low ejection fraction
NCT ID NCT06321094
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether the drug vericiguat can help people who have had a heart attack or unstable angina and also have a weak heart (ejection fraction below 45%). The main goal was to see if it lowers the chance of dying from heart problems or being hospitalized for heart failure. 149 adults took part, and researchers tracked heart function, a key blood marker, and quality of life.
