The Effect of Vericiguat on Peripheral Vascular Function, Patient Health Status and Inflammation

A starting dose of vericiguat 2.5 mg or matching placebo will be initiated after randomization and completion of the baseline testing. Subjects will be up-titrated in a blinded fashion to 5 mg and then to the target dose of 10 mg of vericiguat or matching placebo using titration criteria based on mean systolic blood pressure(SBP) evaluation and clinical symptoms at 2 week intervals. Titration to 10 mg in subjects who have not yet reached the target dose is intended at every visit/phone call throughout the study duration based on mean SBP measurement and safety considerations, at the discretion of the investigator.
