* Ongoing use of diuretic therapy for ≥30 days before screening.
* Mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PWP) ≥15 mmHg or left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) ≥15 mmHg documented during catheterization at rest or PA diastolic pressure measured by implantable monitor ≥15 mmHg or PWP or LVEDP ≥25 mmHg documented during catheterization at exercise.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Any prior echo measurement of LVEF less than or equal to (≤) 40%, under stable conditions, within the past 36 months.
* Previous participation in this study (defined as being randomised).
* Ongoing treatment with a neprilysin inhibitor (including angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitor treatment), phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors or soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators.
