- Change in Peak Oxygen Uptake (VO2) Achieved During Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) From Baseline to Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
- Change in Peak Oxygen Uptake (VO2) Achieved During Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) From Baseline to Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12 ]
- Change in Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) From Baseline to Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]The MLHFQ is a 21-item quality of life (QoL) questionnaire that measures the effects of symptoms, functional limitations, and psychological distress on an individual. Each item is measured on a 6-point Likert scale (0 to 5) and is scored by summing the responses to all 21 questions. Scores range from 0 to 105, with lower scores indicating a better quality of life.
