SPS commentary:
A review published in a separate journal (Circulation) summarises this study investigating vericiguat for heart failure and compares the results with the PARADIGM-HF (sacubitril/valsartan), and DAPA-HF (dapagliflozin) studies, highlighting that comparison of agents is difficult as studies had different eligibility criteria.
