Summary

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.
