3. Diagnosis of stable CHF:
- New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional Class II and III.
- Receiving guideline-recommended treatment for CHF.
4. Left ventricular ejection fraction < 50%.
5. NT-proBNP > 250 ng/L in sinus rhythm or > 750 ng/L if not in sinus

2. Worsening symptoms, e.g., fatigue, dyspnea, breathlessness within the 3 months prior to screening.
3. Increased risk of developing hypotension during vasodilator therapy according to investigators judgement.
4. Any contraindication for exercise testing and spirometry.
5. Stopping of the spirometry at screening according to the stopping rules, unless the patient has reached maximum exercise capacity defined as carbon dioxide production/oxygen consumption (VCO2/VO2) > 1.05.

9.Severe renal impairment defined as eGFR < 25 mL/min/1.73m2 before randomization.
