Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in New York Heart Association (NYHA)/Ross Functional Class |
NYHA classification is a subjective physician's assessment of participant's functional capacity and symptomatic status and can change frequently over time. NYHA is tool that classifies participants with heart failure into one of four classes according to their degree of symptoms at rest and with activity. Class I: No limitations of physical activity. Class 2: May experience fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea, or angina during moderate exercise but not during rest. Class 3: Symptoms with minimal exertion that interfere with normal daily activity. Class 4: Unable to carry out any physical activity because they typically have symptoms of HF at rest that worsen with any exertion. Participants with change from baseline were classified as improved (shifted from higher to lower class), unchanged (no change in class) or worsened (shifted from lower to higher class). |

Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGIS) Score |
PGIS of Heart Failure Symptoms is a 1-item questionnaire to assess the participant's impression of symptoms severity, specifically: shortness of breath, fatigue and swelling. The PGI-S asks the participant to choose one response that best describes how his/her heart failure symptoms, specifically: shortness of breath, fatigue and swelling are now on a 5-point scale, ranging from 'Not at all' (1) to 'Very severe' (5). C1 = none (good), C2 = mild, C3 = moderate, C4 = severe, C5 = very severe (bad). Percentage of participants by change in score are reported. Participants with change from baseline were classified as improved (shifted from higher to score), unchanged (no change in score) or worsened (shifted from lower to higher score). |
