Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change From Baseline in Body Weight	Change in body weight from baseline (before investigational medicinal product [IMP] administration on Day 1) at time of final IMP administration (day after final IMP administration). A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.	Baseline, Day 6
Secondary	Improvement Rate for Lower Limb Edema and Pulmonary Congestion	The improvement rate was defined as the percentage of subjects in whom the symptom was present at baseline and it markedly improved or improved after IMP administration. Improvement category is a 4-point scale below: Markedly improved; Improved; Unchanged; Deteriorated	Baseline, Day 6
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Jugular Venous Distension and Hepatomegaly	Jugular Venous Distension: the presence of Jugular Venous Distension was checked, and if present, the height (in cm) from the sternal angle to the highest point of pulsation in the internal Jugular vein was measured with the subject in a semi-upright position. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.; Hepatomegaly: the presence of a palpable liver was checked, and if present, the width (distance from the right costal arch of the right chest, in cm) was measured. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.	Baseline, Day 6
Secondary	Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve Resolution of Pulmonary Rales and Third Cardiac Sound	Percentage of subjects in whom the symptom was present at baseline and disappeared after IMP administration was provided.; The presence of pulmonary rales was checked by auscultation.; The presence of cardiac third sound was checked by auscultation.	Baseline, Day 6
Secondary	Improvement Rate for New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification	NYHA classification assesses the severity of heart failure based on subjective symptoms as follows.; Class I: No limitations of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity caused no undue fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea or anginal pain.; Class II: Slight limitation of physical activity, comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity resulted in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea or anginal pain.; Class III: Marked limitation of physical activity, comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary physical activity caused fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea or anginal pain.; Class IV: Inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. heart failure or anginal syndrome may have been present even at rest. If any physical activity was undertaken, discomfort was increased.; Of the subjects with Class II or higher at baseline, the percentage of subjects whose NYHA classification stage at the time of final IMP administration improved by 1 or more grades was provided.	Baseline, Day 6
