Placebo
the study is a self controlled study. Each patient was studied on two occasions (6 hours apart). One occasion the subject received rhBNP 1.5ug/kg IV bolus followed by an infusion of 0.0075ug/kg/min for 24 hours; other occasion the subject received IV placebo bolus followed by a placebo infusion for 24 hours .these were administered in random order in double blind fashion.The date of this arm is from the occasion the subject received rhBNP.
