About this trial
The purpose of this study is to find out if the investigational drug called omecamtiv mecarbil can reduce the risk of the effects of heart failure, like hospitalization, transplantation, or death in patients with heart failure and severely reduced ejection fraction.

LVEF < 30% within 6 months of screening
Disqualifiers
Have AFF on the screening ECG and are currently taking digoxin
Have had any event or procedure that may have resulted in a change in ejection fraction, including, but not limited to, acute coronary syndrome and/or any coronary revascularization, cardiac surgery, valve surgery, any coronary revascularization, and/or cardiac resynchronization, or cardiac contractility modulation therapy within 3 months of screening
Are admitted to a long-term care facility or hospice

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Time to the first of event of CV death, HF event, LVAD implantation/cardiac transplantation, or stroke

Secondary outcomes
Time to the first event of CV death or HF event
Effect of omecamtiv mecarbil compared with placebo on risk of CV death and HF event
Time to the first HF hospitalization
Effect of omecamtiv mecarbil compared with placebo on risk of HF hospitalization
Time to the first event of CV death, HF event, LVAD implantation/cardiac transplantation, or stroke in a subgroup of patients with severe HF
Effect of omecamtiv mecarbil compared with placebo on risk of HF outcomes in patients with severe HF, defined as patients with NYHA class 3-4 symptoms and a HF event within the last 3 months
Time to the first event of CV death, LVAD implantation/cardiac transplantation, or stroke
Effect of omecamtiv mecarbil compared with placebo on risk of irreversible morbidity/mortality related to HFrEF
