Bayer AG said Wednesday that its heart-failure treatment, Verquvo, was granted marketing authorization in the European Union.

The German conglomerate said the treatment, also known as vericiguat, is for patients with chronic heart failure who have suffered a worsening in their condition.

Verquvo is already approved in the U.S. and Japan. Marketing authorization for the drug has been submitted in China and other countries world-wide, Bayer said.
