| Main Objective: To assess the effects on hemodynamic variables of RLX030 administered as i.v. infusion in patients with acute heart failure ;Secondary Objective: - To assess the on-set and off-set effects of RLX030 administered as i.v. infusion in patients with acute heart failure - To assess the effects of RLX030 administered as i.v. infusion on diuresis and creatinine clearance in patients with acute heart failure - To assess the effects of RLX030 administered as i.v. infusion on central aortic systolic pressure and radial arterial pulse waveform in patients with acute heart failure - To assess the pharmacokinetics of RLX030 administered as i.v. infusion in patients with acute heart failure - To assess the overall safety and tolerability of RLX030 administered as i.v. infusion in patients with acute heart failure ;Primary end point(s): - Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), - Right atrial pressure (RAP), - Systolic and diastolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), - Pulmonary oxygen saturation (pO2) and - Cardiac output (CO) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At baseline, at 30 minutes, and 2, 4, 6, 8, 20, 22, and 24 hours after start of infusion of study drug | — |
