Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of 2.0 mg/kg and 4.0 mg/kg sugammadex given as a reversal agent at reappearance of T2 after 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium in cardiac patients
Interventions

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Cardiac patients of NYHA Class II to III * ASA class maximally 4 * Age at least 18 * Scheduled for elective, non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia with propofol in the supine position, with planned muscle relaxation using rocuronium and allowing for 12-lead ECG assessment during surgery; * Given written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
* Disorders interfering with the reliability of the assessments (e.g. ECG measurements), such as paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or the presence of a pacemaker * Known or suspected neuromuscular disorders impairing NMB * Known or suspected significant renal dysfunction * Known or suspected (family) history of malignant hyperthermia * Known or suspected allergy to narcotics, muscle relaxants or other medication used during general anesthesia * Intended) use of medication expected to interfere with the effect of rocuronium as given in this trial, based on the dose and/or the time of administration (such as antibiotics, anticonvulsants and Mg2+ ) * Pregnancy (pregnancy to be excluded for women both from medical history and by an hCG test within 24 h before surgery, except for women who were not of childbearing potential, i.e. at least 2 years menopausal or have undergone tubal ligation or a hysterectomy) * Childbearing potential without using any method of birth control or using only hormonal contraception as birth control (subjects were allowed to participate if they were willing to use a condom, or a diaphragm with spermicide, or IUD, or have a vasectomized partner (\>6 months) or abstinence, for one month after participation in the trial) * Breast -feeding * Prior participation in any trial with Org 25969 * Participation in another clinical trial not pre -approved by Organon, within 30 days of entering into trial 19.4.309
