  1. Heart rate values were measured in BPM (beats per minute). Data are means (standard deviation)
  2. Italic values indicate significance of p value (p < 0.05)
  3. †P value was compared using the independent t-test for difference in the mean change in heart rate and mean heart rate between the treatment arms in respective time-points
  4. ¥P value was compared using paired t-test for difference in mean heart rate within the treatment arms between day 0 and 5
