Measure
Tadalafil Plus Placebo, Then Tadalafil Plus Nesiritide
First intervention period: oral Tadalafil; after 1 hour, subcutaneous (sc) placebo given in the abdomen. After a lead in period of 15 min, a 30-min clearance was repeated, then acute saline load was given. During the 1 hour saline load, one 30-min clearance repeated with subject in supine position, then second 30-min clearance repeated with subject sitting. There was a one week washout period. Second intervention period: oral Tadalafil; after 1 hour, sc Nesiritide given in the abdomen. After a lead in period of 15 min, a 30-min clearance was repeated, then acute saline load was given. During the 1 hour saline load, one 30-min clearance repeated with subject in supine position, then second 30-min clearance repeated with subject sitting.

During the 1 hour saline load, one 30-min clearance repeated with subject in supine position, then second 30-min clearance repeated with subject sitting. There was a one week washout period. Second intervention period: oral Tadalafil; after 1 hour, sc placebo given in the abdomen. After a lead in period of 15 min, a 30-min clearance was repeated, then acute saline load was given. During the 1 hour saline load, one 30-min clearance repeated with subject in supine position, then second 30-min clearance repeated with subject sitting.
