- The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of 48 hours of intravenous (IV) omecamtiv mecarbil compared with placebo on dyspnea in subjects with left ventricular systolic dysfunction hospitalized for acute heart failure. [ Time Frame: 48 hours ]
- To characterize pharmacokinetics of omecamtiv mecarbil including metabolites following IV infusion and to evaluate the relationship between omecamtiv mecarbil plasma concentration and echocardiographic parameters in subjects with AHF [ Time Frame: 48 hours ]
- To assess the safety and tolerability of 3 dose levels of IV omecamtiv mecarbil compared with placebo in subjects with left ventricular systolic dysfunction hospitalized for acute heart failure [ Time Frame: 48 hours ]
- To evaluate the effects of 48 hours treatment with IV omecamtiv mecarbil on additional measures of dyspnea, patient global assessment (PGA), change in NT-proBNP, incidence of worsening heart failure, and short term clinical outcomes [ Time Frame: 48 hours ]
