Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Cardiac index [ Time Frame: At heart rates 65-80-95-110-125 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Mean arterial blood pressure [ Time Frame: At heart rates 65-80-95-110-125 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Ejection fraction [ Time Frame: Heart rates of 65-80-95-110-120 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Echocardiographic index of systolic function

  • Strain [ Time Frame: Heart rates of 65-80-95-110-125 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Echocardiographic index of systolic function

  • S-max [ Time Frame: Heart rates of 65-80-95-110-125 beats per second ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Echocardiographic index of systolic function

  • E/E' [ Time Frame: Heart rates of 65-80-95-110-125 beats per second ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Echocardiographic index of diastolic function

  • E/A ratio [ Time Frame: Heart rates of 65-80-95-110-125 beats per second ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Echocardiographic index of diastolic function

  • E'/A' ratio [ Time Frame: Heart rates of 65-80-95-110-125 beats per second ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Echocardiographic index of diastolic function

  • Isovolumetric relaxation index [ Time Frame: Heart rates of 65-80-95-110-125 beats per second ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Echocardiographic index of diastolic function

  • IVRT/IVRT' [ Time Frame: Heart rates of 65-80-95-110-125 beats per second ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Echocardiographic index of diastolic function

  • End diastolic volume [ Time Frame: Heart rates of 65-80-95-110-125 beats per second ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Volume of left ventricle and end diastole

  • End systolic volume [ Time Frame: Heart rates of 65-80-95-110-125 beats per second ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Volume of left ventricle at end systole
