Eligibility Criteria:
Key Inclusion Criteria:
* Male and female patients \>18 years of age
* Body weight between 50 kg and 140 kg
* Cardiac ejection fraction of ≤ 45% assessed within the last 6 months
* For PA catheter cohorts, patients who are planned to have a clinically indicated pulmonary artery catheter in place prior to randomization
* In the opinion of the investigator, heart failure patients who do not require a change in their dose of acetylcholinesterase (ACE), angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), β-blocker, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, or diuretic for 24 h after randomization.
* At Baseline, vital signs (systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate) assessment in the supine position after the subject has rested for at least five minutes.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
* Impaired renal function as indicated by clinically significant abnormal creatinine values (Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 30 mL/min/1.73m2 calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study (MDRD) equation)
* History of chronic hepatitis of any non-cardiac etiology
* History of any active or clinically significant cardiac tachyarrhythmia (such as recurrent atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response within the last year) and patients with chronic atrial fibrillation with a pulse rate ≤ 100 bpm
* Patients who received an i.v. infusion of a cardiac inotrope (e.g., dobutamine or milrinone) in the last 24 h prior to randomization
* Patients with any significant change in their dose of their ACE, ARB, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, diuretic, or β-blocker within the last 12 h
* Patients with known significant valvular heart diseases indicated by the following:
* severe aortic stenosis (aortic valve area \< 1.0 cm2 or peak gradient \> 50 mm Hg as determined by echocardiography)
* severe mitral stenosis
* History of acute coronary syndrome within the last 60 days as determined by both clinical and enzymatic criteria
* For echocardiography-based cohorts only, patients admitted to an inpatient setting for acute decompensated heart failure within the last 30 days
* For PA catheter cohorts, patients with a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of \<10 mm Hg at Baseline. For echocardiographic cohorts, patients with a lateral E/E' ratio of \< 7 on their baseline echocardiogram. For patients in whom a lateral E/E' ratio cannot be determined (e.g., patients in atrial fibrillation), a central venous pressure of \< 5 mm Hg on baseline echocardiogram as determined by inferior vena cava criteria.
