  1. AT II, angiotensin II; NED, norepinephrine-equivalent dose; SAE, serious adverse event; TEAE, treatment-emergent adverse event
  2. *For each event category, patients were counted once even if they had multiple events within that category. Adverse events were coded according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities
