Study Summary

The aim of this study was to determine whether long-term (≥ 6 months at the target dose) blockade of ETA receptors using sitaxsentan showed functional benefit in subjects with chronic Heart Failure and an Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction ≥50%.

Primary Outcome

Treadmill exercise test is used to assess the functional capacity of participants with cardiac disease. Treadmill exercise test was conducted using the 2 minute incremental Naughton protocol. The Naughton protocol starts with a 2 minute warm-up. The speed of treadmill is set to 1 mile per hour (mph) and the incline is set to 0. After the warm-up, the speed is set at 2 mph for the remainder of the test. The test consists of six, 2 minute intervals. The grade starts at 0 for the first interval, an
