2. abnormal frequency of micturition (an average voiding interval of 2 hours or less [2] during waking hours) as confirmed by at least two days of recording on the screening dairy collected at Visit 1.

• Have any of the following:

• A significant arrhythmia despite antiarrhythmic medication, uncontrolled angina, or a significant abnormality on ECG within 6 months prior to study entry that, in the opinion of the investigator, requires investigation or intervention.
