Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Mean Total Visualization Score of Qualitative Endocardial Border Delineation (EBD) of the 12 Segments of the Left Ventricle (LV) Wall in Standard Apical 4-chamber (A4C) and Apical 2-chamber (A2C)

Visualization of each of the 12 segments of the LV wall in standard A4C and A2C views were measured by the qualitative EBD visualization scale: score 0 =no visualization of the LV endocardial border; 1 =poor visualization; 2 =fair visualization; 3 =good/optimal visualization. The total LV EBD score was calculated as the sum of the individual scores assigned to each of the 12 LV wall segment and the total score ranged from 0 (no visualization of the LV endocardial border) to 36 (good/optimal visualization). A higher score indicated better visualization. The total score of qualitative EBD visualization scale were reported by reader (independent blinded), non-contrast and dose levels.

Time frame: Images were captured during the study echocardiogram (0 to 30 minutes) on Day 1 and blinded image evaluations (BIE) were carried out at the study core laboratory following image transfer

Secondary Outcomes

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

An Adverse Event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily had to have causal relationship with treatment. TEAEs were defined as AEs that starts or worsens at or after the time of first dosing of OPTISON.

Time frame: 0- 72 hours

Change From Baseline in Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure

Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured from the arm contra-lateral to the site of OPTISON administration whenever possible and before measurement, participants rested for at least 5 minutes (if possible).

Time frame: Baseline (pre-dose), and at 10 and 60 minutes post last dose on Day 1

Change From Baseline in Heart Rate

Before heart rate was measured, participants rested for at least 5 minutes (if possible).

Time frame: Baseline (pre-dose), and at 10 and 60 minutes post last dose on Day 1

Change From Baseline in Respiratory Rate

Before respiratory rate was measured, participants rested for at least 5 minutes (if possible).

Time frame: Baseline (pre-dose), and at 10 and 60 minutes post last dose on Day 1

Change From Baseline in Oxygen Saturation as Measured by Pulse Oximetry

Oxygen saturation was measured by pulse oximetry. Before oxygen saturation was measured, participants rested for at least 5 minutes (if possible).

Time frame: Baseline (pre-dose), and at 10 and 60 minutes post last dose on Day 1

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormality in Physical Examination Findings

Participants underwent assessments including general appearance, respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological (motor function, level of consciousness, sensory function) examination. Any abnormal clinically significant physical examination findings were based on investigator decision.

Time frame: From first dose (Day 1) of study drug to 60 minutes post last dose on Day 1

Change From Baseline in 12-lead Electrocardiograms (ECGs) Parameters

Change from baseline in PR, QRS, QT, Bazett's formula corrected QT (QTcB), Fridericia's formula corrected QT (QTcF) and RR intervals expressed in millisecond (ms) were reported.

Time frame: Baseline (pre-dose), and at 10 and 30 minutes post last dose on Day 1

Number of Participants by Degree of Left Ventricular Opacification (LVO) Assessed by Visual Peak Contrast Intensity

LVO peak contrast intensity was determined by readers (independent blinded) using a categorical scale as None, Low, Medium, High or Blooming, where, None = Absence of contrast signal; Low = Limited capacity to make a diagnostic assessment; Presence of contrast signal does not improve diagnostic interpretability to a great degree; Medium = Good capacity to make a diagnostic assessment; Contrast signal facilitates diagnostic interpretability to a good degree; High = Optimal capacity to make a diagnostic assessment; Contrast signal facilitates diagnostic interpretability to a high degree; Blooming = Oversaturation of the signal disrupts diagnostic interpretability. Tissue boundaries become challenging to delineate. There may be excessive acoustic shadowing in the far-field of the image. Number of participants by degree of LVO assessed by visual peak contrast intensity was presented by readers and dose levels.

Time frame: Images were captured during the study echocardiogram (0 to 30 minutes) on Day 1 and blinded image evaluations (BIE) were carried out at the study core laboratory following image transfer

Number of Participants by Grade of Left Ventricular Opacification (LVO) Assessed by Peak Left Ventricular (LV) Contrast Filling

Peak LV contrast filling for LVO was categorized as: 0 = none (0 percent \[%\] filling); 1 = faint (around 33% filling); 2 = intermediate (around 67% filling); 3 = full (100% filling) and data were presented by readers (independent blinded) and dose levels.

Time frame: Images were captured during the study echocardiogram (0 to 30 minutes) on Day 1 and blinded image evaluations (BIE) were carried out at the study core laboratory following image transfer

Number of Participants by Contrast Enhancement Duration in the Left Ventricular (LV) Chamber

Contrast enhancement duration was determined from the time the contrast appeared in the LV to the time the contrast almost dissipated from the left chamber. 3 independent blinded reader performed evaluation.

Time frame: Images were captured during the study echocardiogram (0 to 30 minutes) on Day 1 and blinded image evaluations (BIE) were carried out at the study core laboratory following image transfer

Number of Participants by Diagnostic Confidence of Left Ventricular Endocardial Border Delineation (LV EBD) and Wall Motion for Contrast and Non-Contrast Enhanced Images

Diagnostic confidence for the assessment of LV EBD and wall motion was scored for non-contrast and OPTISON-enhanced echocardiographic acquisitions separately using a 4-point scale which ranged from ranged 0 to 4, where 0 = no confidence, 1 = low confidence, 2 = moderate confidence, 3 = high confidence. A higher score indicates better confidence level. Data were presented by reader (independent blinded), non-contrast and dose levels.

Time frame: Images were captured during the study echocardiogram (0 to 30 minutes) on Day 1 and blinded image evaluations (BIE) were carried out at the study core laboratory following image transfer

Number of Participants by Diagnostic Confidence of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) for Non-contrast and OPTISON Enhanced Echocardiography

Diagnostic confidence for the evaluation of LVEF was calculated using the formula: (end diastole volume - end systole volume)/(end diastole volume) was scored for non-contrast and OPTISON-enhanced echocardiographic acquisitions separately using a 4-point scale which ranged from 0 to 3, where 0 = no confidence, 1 = low confidence, 2 = moderate confidence, 3 = high confidence. A higher score indicates better confidence level. Data were presented by reader (independent blinded), non-contrast and dose levels.
