Inclusion Criteria

Is an adult male or female patient ≥18 years of age, or adult age as per country guidelines, at the time of Screening.

Has a medical history supporting a diagnosis of clinical heart failure (HF) syndrome, NYHA functional class II to III, with the duration of at least 6 months prior to the time of Screening

Has ejection fraction (EF) > 40% and left atrial enlargement by transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) performed and interpreted locally at the time of Screening

Has NT-proBNP level ≥300 pg/ml at the time of Screening. Patients with atrial fibrillation or flutter at the time of Screening are required to have an NT-proBNP level ≥500 pg/mL at the time of Screening

Is on stable optimized doses of guideline-directed HF therapy, per Investigator’s clinical judgment.

Has had no addition of new guideline-directed HF therapy (with the exception of diuretics) within the 3 months prior to the time of Screening or during the Screening Period and is on stable optimized doses of all HF therapies, including diuretics, for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to the time of Screening and during the Screening Period, with no planned changes after randomization

Other protocol-defined criteria apply

Exclusion Criteria

Has documented EF ≥60% by TTE within 6 months of the time of Screening or during the Screening Period

Has had prior or planned orthotopic heart transplantation

Has the presence of or plan for mechanical circulatory support

Has any of the following findings at Screening: A clinically significant abnormal finding on electrocardiogram (ECG) considered by the Investigator to pose a risk to the safety of the patient; and/or oPersonal or family history of Long QT syndrome; and/or A QTcF interval of >500 msec; and/or oUtilization of concomitant therapies known to increase the risk of torsade de pointe

Has known bleeding diathesis

Other protocol-defined criteria apply

Has evidence of recent HF exacerbation defined by hospitalization or requirement for IV or SQ diuretics within 60 days of the time of Screening or during the Screening Period

Has a requirement for routine, scheduled outpatient IV infusions for HF (ie, inotropes, vasodilators, IV iron, or diuretics) or routinely scheduled ultrafiltration

Has any clinically significant abnormal findings on physical examination as judged by the Investigator (or designee), AND/OR vital signs recorded at Screening of the following: - Average systolic blood pressure after a triplicate recording of <90 mmHg or ≥180 mmHg; - Average diastolic blood pressure after a triplicate recording of >90 mmHg; or - Heart rate <45 or >90 beats per minute.

Has elective interventions (eg, percutaneous coronary intervention, de novo device implantations, percutaneous structural heart disease interventions, or major cardiac or non-cardiac surgery) planned to occur during study participation or has undergone this elective procedure <12 weeks prior to Screening.

Has acute coronary syndrome, stroke, transient ischemic attack, cardiac, carotid, or other major cardiovascular surgery or carotid angioplasty within 60 days of the time of Screening or during the Screening Period

Has clinical suspicion of infiltrative cardiomyopathy (eg, amyloid, sarcoid), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (obstructive or non-obstructive), or HF secondary to severe valvular disease, active myocarditis, active pericarditis, or clinically significant congenital heart disease
