A balloon-tipped pulmonary artery thermodilution catheter was placed in the right internal jugular vein to perform right heart catheterisation (RHC) on day 1. Haemodynamic data were acquired before and after vericiguat intake (2.5 mg) on days 2 and 3. The data on days 2 and 3 were averaged. RHC was repeated on day 105 (37, 168). Oral intake of vericiguat 2.5 mg decreased mean pulmonary artery pressure (19.3 [14.3, 26.8] mmHg) and pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) (11 [7.5, 15] mmHg) before the intake to mean pulmonary artery pressure (17.5 [12.5, 24] mmHg) and PAWP (9.3 [6.8, 14] mmHg) at 30 min after (both P &amp;lt; 0.05). Reduction in PAWP was also found from 14.5 [9.5, 19.5] mmHg on day 1 to 9.5 [6.5, 12.5] mmHg on day 105 (37, 168) (P &amp;lt; 0.05), when vericiguat was titrated to 2.5 mg 25% (N = 3), 5 mg 50% (N =
