LVEF ≤40% may be determined via any local measurement within the past 6 months prior to signing consent, using echocardiography, multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA), CT scanning, MRI or ventricular angiography provided no subsequent study documenting an EF of \>40%. If the EF measurement is expressed as a value range, the average of the range endpoint values should be used as the EF).
