Summary

This is an observational study in which the health data of people with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are collected using administrative claims data.

In observational studies, only observations are made and participants do not receive any advice or changes to healthcare.

Chronic HFrEF is a longterm condition that occurs when the heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to the rest of the body with each heartbeat. This leads to a reduced supply of oxygen which the body requires to function properly. The common symptoms include breathlessness, weakness, fatigue, and swelling in the ankles and legs. If left untreated, heart failure can lead to other serious health problems, including damage to other organs, which may result in hospital stays and even death.

Vericiguat works by increasing the activity of an enzyme called soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), which relaxes the blood vessels and allows more blood to flow through. As a result, the heart is able to pump better.

Vericiguat was approved for the treatment of HFrEF based on the results of a study called VICTORIA. The VICTORIA study showed that vericiguat helps in lowering the chances of death or hospitalization due to heart failure. There is limited information available about the use of vericiguat for the treatment of HFrEF under realworld conditions.

The main purpose of this study is to collect information about the characteristics of people with HFrEF, who are on vericiguat in addition to at least one standard treatment. Researchers will collect information about participants' basic characteristics, including their age, gender, other health conditions they may have, and the medicines they may be taking.

The data will come from administrative claims data for people in the United States of America who were diagnosed with HFrEF between January 2020 and June 2022.

In this study, only available data from routine care is collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
