A clinical research study assessing the effects of an investigational medicine when compared with placebo for people with heart failure
The heart works by pumping the blood that carries and delivers oxygen around your body. “Heart failure” means your heart isn't pumping blood as well as it should, therefore you might feel shortness of breath, are unable to perform daily activities, and other symptoms caused by the fact that you’re not getting enough oxygen. The primary goals of heart failure care are to prevent the disease worsening and the improvement of symptoms. The GARDEN study will compare the effects of an investigational medicine with a placebo when given to people with heart failure.
Who may participate
