Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Nesiritide Infusion

Nitroglycerin Infusion

Arm Description

Nesiritide: 2 mcg/kg bolus (optional) followed by 0.01 mcg/kg/min infusion for 48 hours.

Nitroglycerin was initiated at 10 mcg/min initial starting dose titrated every 5-10 minutes until symptom relief, SBP<or= 90 mm Hg, or up to a maximum rate of 200 mcg/min plus standard treatment.
