Potential subjects will be excluded if any of the following conditions apply:
General Exclusion Criteria
  • 1.

  • 3.

    Known LVEF <50% or cardiogenic shock requiring pressors or mechanical circulatory assistance (eg, intra-aortic balloon pump, left ventricular assist device, other temporary cardiac support blood pump)

  • 4.

    Renal insufficiency, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 (by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation) or dialysis at the time of screening

  • 5.

    Prior percutaneous coronary intervention

  • 6.

    Planned percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

  • 7.

    Prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery
