- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Part A: Change in Cardiac Index (CI) Measured by Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) From Baseline to End of Intravenous (IV) Infusion at 6 Hours Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration) up to 6 Hours (end of IV infusion) Cardiac index (CI) is a hemodynamic parameter that relates the cardiac output (CO) from left ventricle in one minute to body surface area (BSA), thus relating heart performance to the body size of the participant. It was measured by RHC.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Part A: Change in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) Measured by ECHO From Baseline to End of IV Infusion at 6 Hours Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration) up to 6 Hours (end of IV infusion) LVEF is the central measure of left ventricular systolic function. LVEF is the fraction of chamber volume ejected in systole (stroke volume) in relation to the volume of the blood in the ventricle at the end of diastole (end-diastolic volume). This was measured by ECHO.
Part A: Change in Fractional Shortening (FS) Measured by ECHO From Baseline to End of IV Infusion at 6 Hours Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration) up to 6 Hours (end of IV infusion) FS was calculated by measuring the percentage reduction in left ventricular diameter during systole. This was measured by ECHO.
Part A: Change in Left Ventricular End-Systolic and Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Diameter Measured by ECHO From Baseline to End of IV Infusion at 6 Hours Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration) up to 6 Hours (end of IV infusion) Left ventricular end-systolic diameter and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter were measured using ECHO.
Part A: Change in Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain (LVGLS) and Left Ventricular Global Circumferential Strain (LVGCS) Measured by ECHO From Baseline to End of IV Infusion at 6 Hours Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration) up to 6 Hours (end of IV infusion) Left ventricular global strain is the average strain of the cardiac chamber wall, where LVGLS presents longitudinal shortening as a percentage (change in length as a proportion to baseline length). LVGCS measures the chamber deformation along the circumference of the cardiac wall in a tangential xy-direction and similarly presents the circumferential shortening as a percentage. Both the parameters were measured by ECHO.
Part A: Change in CI Measured by RHC at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Hours During 6 Hour IV Infusion Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours of IV infusion CI is a hemodynamic parameter that relates the CO from left ventricle in one minute to BSA, thus relating heart performance to the body size of the participant. It was measured by RHC.
Part A: Change in Cardiac Output (CO) Measured by RHC at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 Hours Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours of IV infusion Change in CO measured by RHC at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours during the 6-hour IV infusion was reported in this outcome measure.
Part A: Change in Stroke Volume (SV), Left Ventricular End-Systolic Volume (LVESV) and Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Volume (LVEDV) Measured by Echocardiogram (ECHO) From Baseline to End of IV Infusion at 6 Hours Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration) up to 6 Hours (end of IV infusion) SV is the volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle per beat. LVESV is the volume of blood in the left ventricle at the end of contraction and at diastole. LVEDV is the amount of blood in the heart's left ventricle just before the heart contracts. All these parameters were measured by ECHO.
Part A: Change in Stroke Volume Index (SVI) Measured by ECHO From Baseline to End of IV Infusion at 6 Hours Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration) up to 6 Hours (end of IV infusion) SVI was calculated as stroke volume divided by BSA. This was measured by ECHO.
Part A: Change in Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure (PCWP), Right Atrial Pressure (RAP), Systolic Pulmonary Arterial Pressure/Diastolic Pulmonary Arterial Pressure (PAS/PAD) Measured by RHC at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 Hours Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours of IV infusion PCWP estimated the left atrial pressure and was the pressure measured by wedging a pulmonary artery catheter with an inflated balloon into a small pulmonary arterial branch. PCWP was assessed by 2 successive measurements at least 10 minutes apart. RAP is the blood pressure in the right atrium of the heart. Change in PCWP, RAP, PAS/PAD at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours during the 6-hour IV infusion was reported in this outcome measure. All the parameters were measured by RHC.

PAPi = (PAS - PAD)/right atrial pressure. Change in PAPi measured by RHC at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours during the 6-hour IV infusion was reported in this outcome measure.
Part A: Change in Systemic Vascular Resistance Measured by RHC at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 Hours Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours of IV infusion Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) is the amount of force exerted on circulating blood by the vasculature of the body. SVR was calculated as 80\*(mean arterial pressure - mean venous pressure) divided by cardiac output.
