A Study of Continuous Infusions of HNO (Nitroxyl) Donor in Patients With Heart Failure and Impaired Systolic Function

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo- and Active-Controlled, Cross-over Phase 2 Study of Continuous 5-Hour Intravenous Infusions of BMS-986231 in Patients With Heart Failure and Impaired Systolic Function

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of BMS-986231 on systolic and diastolic parameters in patients with heart failure and low ejection fraction.
