Heart failure (HF) occurs predominantly in older adults. HF patients have an increased risk for an acute exacerbation, which commonly requires hospitalisation. Such a worsening HF (WHF) event has an impact on prognosis. Vericiguat is a novel agent which has been shown to reduce the HF hospitalisation risk in patients with a recent WHF event. It is not fully clear how to position this novel agent in geriatric HF inpatients.
