What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Significant Hypotension

    Significant hypotension is defined as: symptomatic hypotension with systolic blood pressure (BP) <90 mmHg, requiring treatment with vasopressors

    Measured: Start (baseline) of first vernakalant infusion up to 24 hours after the last infusion

  2. Number of Participants Experiencing Significant Ventricular Arrhythmia

    Measured: Start (baseline) of first vernakalant infusion up to 24 hours after the last infusion

  3. Number of Participants Experiencing Significant Atrial Flutter

    Measured: Start (baseline) of first vernakalant infusion up to 24 hours after the last infusion

  4. Number of Participants Experiencing Significant Bradycardia

    Measured: Start (baseline) of first vernakalant infusion up to 24 hours after the last infusion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants Who Are Converted to Sinus Rhythm for at Least One Minute

    Measured: Up to 90 minutes after the start (baseline) of first infusion of vernakalant
