      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Dry extract of Biebersteinia Multifida root with a concentration of 10 percent relative to 100 g of roots of the plant, has been standardized 250 mg per capsule at the school of Pharmacy of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. The drug is given one capsule every 12 hours for 60 days to volunteer patients with  systolic heart failure who have ejection fraction equal to or less than 40 percent. Intervention 2: Control group: Placebo in the control group contains starch corn which is provided in capsules and boxes of the same intervention group at the school of Pharmacy of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. The placebo is given one capsule every 12 hours for 60 days to volunteer patients with heart failure who have ejection fraction equal to or less than 40 percent.</i_freetext>
