Key exclusion criteria
The following criteria would exclude the patient from study:

* rhythm disorders (e.g. earlier Torsades de Pointes, increased heart rate),
* severe ventricular outflow obstruction,
* angina,
* hypotension,
* uncorrected hypokalemia,
* CNS (e.g. stroke, TIA),
* respiratory (e.g. COPD, intubated patients, oral,
* intravenous or intramuscular steroids),
* renal insufficiency (e.g. increased serum creatinine, dialysis),
* hepatic impairment (e.g. significant increase in liver enzymes),
* decompensation from active infection and acute bleeding (e.g. severe anemia).
* Female patients of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and use adequate contraceptive precautions.
