- Men and women aged 18 to 80 years (inclusive) at the time of signing the informed consent form.
- Diagnosis of NIDCM with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤45%.

At a minimum, subjects must be on beta blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) or Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibitors (ARNI) or have appropriate medical indication precluding use of one or both of these agents. Subjects must be on a stable regimen for at least 30 days prior to the procedure. Dose titration is allowed.
