The blood coagulation function test shall meet the following requirements: prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and international normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (without anticoagulation treatment); Iv. Color Doppler echocardiography evaluation: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%.
8. Female subjects of childbearing age should agree to use contraceptive measures (such as intrauterine device, contraceptive pill or condom) during the study period and within 6 months after the end of the study; The serum or urine pregnancy test was negative within 7 days before the study was included, and must be non lactating subjects; Male subjects should agree to use contraception during the study period and within 6 months after the end of the study period.
