Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Ischemic symptoms (more than or equal to 5 minutes) at rest within 48 hours of study entry
* At least one additional risk factor (e.g., elevated cardiac enzymes, ST-depression, diabetes)
Exclusion Criteria
* Successful revascularization during the qualifying hospitalization, prior to study entry
* Acute pulmonary edema, hypotension, or evidence of cardiogenic shock
* Clinically significant liver disease
* End stage kidney disease requiring dialysis
* Concomitant use of drugs known to prolong the QT interval, or any digitalis drugs
* Use at study entry of drugs that are strong inhibitors of cytochrome P450 3A4
* Pregnant or lactating women, or women of child bearing potential not using an acceptable form of birth control
Additional study entry criteria will be evaluated during initial screening.
