The efficacy and safety of soluble guanylate cyclase modulation in patients with heart failure: a comprehensive meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [PDF]
Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) modulation has been scrutinized in several disease states including heart failure (HF). Recently, it was shown that an sGC modulator improved HF-related hospitalization significantly, though, there was no benefit related ...

A Zebrafish Drug-Repurposing Screen Reveals sGC-Dependent and sGC-Independent Pro-Inflammatory Activities of Nitric Oxide. [PDF]
Tissue injury and infection trigger innate immune responses. However, dysregulation may result in chronic inflammation and is commonly treated with corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Unfortunately, long-term administration of both

Vericiguat: A New Hope for Heart Failure Patients
Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is the inability of the heart to adequately contract or eject blood. This heart is unable to produce adequate cardiac output to perfuse vital tissues.

Localization of soluble guanylate cyclase activity in the guinea pig inner ear
The aim of this study was to characterize the nitric oxide (NO) receptor soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), to determine the cells targeted by NO and to elucidate the function of the NO/cGMP pathway in the inner ear.

Heterogeneity in human soluble guanylate cyclase due to alternative splicing [PDF]
Two forms of the smaller subunit of the human soluble guanylate cyclase enzyme have been cloned by using PCR. One of the clones (HSGC-1) is identical to bovine and rat lung smaller subunit cyclase.

Repurposing Riociguat for Treatment of Refractory Angina Resulting From Coronary Spasm
Coronary spasm is a frequent cause of angina despite unobstructed coronary arteries, and symptom control with recommended drugs is limited. We report the case of a 77-year-old woman who had refractory angina despite conventional antianginal treatment ...
