An international study at different study sites designed to evaluate the effects of BMS-986231 versus NTG versus placebo on systolic and diastolic parameters as measured by echocardiogrpahy. BMS-986231, NTG or Placebo are provided in the form of Intravenous Infusions for a duration of 5- hour in patients whose heart is unable to pump sufficiently (chronic heart failure); exposed to each of the 3 interventions in 3 treatment periods.

1) Signed Written Informed Consent
a) Subjects will be required to provide a written informed consent.
2) Type of Participant and Target Disease Characteristics
a) Males and Females, ages 18 (or age of majority) or older
b) Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (LVEF on echocardiogram of 40% or less)c) Stable guideline directed therapy for heart failure including oral diuretics, ACEi, ARBs, ARNi, MRAs , and ß blockers as tolerated), with no dose changes of these medications in the past 2 weeks
d) Have screening values of NT pro-BNP = 125 pg/mL (15 pmol/L) or BNP = 35 pg/mL (10 pmol/L).
e) In sinus rhythm at the start of the infusion
3) Age and Reproductive Status
a) Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) within 24 hours prior to the start of study treatment.
b) Women must not be breastfeeding
c) Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to follow instructions for methods of contraception for 32 days after discontinuation (duration of study drug plus 30 days duration of one ovulatory cycle).
d) Males who are sexually active with WOCBP must agree to follow instructions for methods of contraception (Appendix 4) for total of 91 days after discontinuation (duration of study drug plus 90 days (duration of sperm turnover).
e) Azoospermic males are exempt from contraceptive requirements. WOCBP who are continuously not heterosexually active are also exempt from contraceptive requirements, but still must undergo pregnancy testing as described in this section. Investigators shall counsel WOCBP, and male participants who are sexually active with
WOCBP, on the importance of pregnancy prevention and the implications of an unexpected pregnancy. Investigators shall advise on the use of highly effective methods of contraception, (Appendix 4 which have a failure rate of < 1% when used consistently and correctly.
Local laws and regulations may require use of alternative and/or additional contraception methods.
