• Treatment with any investigational therapy within 90 days prior to screening, or 5 drug-elimination half-lives of the drug, whichever is longer
• Contraindications to MRI scans, difficulties maintaining a prolonged supine position, or any other clinical history or examination finding that would pose a potential hazard in combination with MRI
• Presence of clinically significant ECG abnormalities from average of triplicate measurement at screening indicating a safety risk for participants
• Presence of clinically significant cardiovascular disease indicating a safety risk for participants
• Presence of clinically significant abnormal findings in echocardiography at screening, with the exception of mitral valve prolapse, which does not exclude participants from the study
