Vericiguat in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome and Coronary Vascular Dysfunction

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Coronary vascular dysfunction is one of the "final common pathways" for the impact of multiple cardiovascular risk factors. The investigators will conduct a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study in individuals with the metabolic syndrome and baseline coronary vascular dysfunction to evaluate the impact of vericiguat, a stimulator of soluble guanylyl cyclase, on coronary vascular function using non-invasive cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
