Current left ventricular ejection fraction \< lower limit of normal; b. A QT interval corrected for heart rate using the Bazett's formula (QTcB) ≥480 ms; c. A history or evidence of current clinically significant uncontrolled arrhythmias with exception of subjects with atrial fibrillation controlled for \>30 days prior to recruitment are eligible; d. A history (within 6 months prior to recruitment) of acute coronary syndromes (including myocardial infarction or unstable angina), or coronary angioplasty; e. A history or evidence of current ≥ class II congestive heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) guidelines (Appendix 4: New York Heart Association (NYHA) Guidelines); f. Treatment refractory hypertension defined as a blood pressure of systolic \>140 mmHg and/or diastolic \> 90 mm Hg which cannot be controlled by antihypertensive therapy; g. Patients with intra-cardiac defibrillators or permanent pacemakers; h. Known cardiac metastases; i. Abnormal cardiac valve morphology (≥ grade 2) documented by echocardiogram (subjects with grade 1 abnormalities \[i.e., mild regurgitation/stenosis\] can be entered on study).
