Beta-blockers, diuretics, MRAs, antiplatelet therapy, statins, and aspirin are to be used if indicated. Treatment with stable doses of ACE inhibitors or ARBs using at least half of the recommended target dose (as defined in the ESC guidelines, see appendix 16.4) ≥ 4 weeks prior to the screening visit is mandatory.
5. No planned changes to post MI drug therapy during the active treatment phase of the study.
6. Men or confirmed postmenopausal women (defined as exhibiting spontaneous amenorrhea for at least 12 months before screening or as exhibiting spontaneous amenorrhea for 6 months before screening with documented serum FSH levels > 40 mIU/mL) or women without childbearing potential based on surgical treatment 6 weeks before screening such as bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy (documented by medical report verification).
Men of reproductive potential must agree to use 2 reliable and acceptable methods for contraception simultaneously when sexually active and not to act as sperm donor. This applies for the time period between signing of the informed consent form and 12 weeks after the last administration of study drug.
Acceptable methods of contraception include, but are not limited to, (i) condoms (male or female) with or without a spermicidal agent; (ii) diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide; (iii) intra-uterine device; (iv) hormone-based contraception.
7. Age: 40 to 79 years (inclusive) at the screening visit.

15. Hyperthyreosis or hypothyreosis as evidenced by TSH values outside the reference range at screening.
16. Any deviation from normal laboratory values that in the opinion of the investigator would impair the ability to complete the planned study procedures or pose a potential safety risk.
