Figure 2 Time Course of SCr Response
Mean change from baseline in postoperative (post-op) serum creatinine (SCr) values over the course of the hospital stay in nesiritide (solid line) and placebo (dotted line) patients. Vertical lines signify 1 SEM. *p < 0.05 nesiritide versus placebo on the basis of longitudinal repeated measures analysis of variance model; p < 0.05 change from baseline on the basis of paired t test. ICU = intensive care unit.

Figure 3 Maximal Change in SCr and GFR by Baseline Renal Function
Adjusted mean maximum increase in serum creatinine (SCr) (A, B, and C) and decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (D, E, and F) from baseline through hospital discharge or by study day 14, whichever came first, using an analysis of covariance model. Lines above the bars represent 1 SEM.

Figure 4 Time Course of Hemodynamic Parameters During the Initial 24 Postoperative Hours
Mean pulmonary artery pressure (A), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (B), mean arterial pressure (C), central venous pressure (D), cardiac index (E), and systemic vascular resistance (F) at baseline and over the initial 24 postoperative hours in nesiritide (solid lines) and placebo (dotted lines) patients. Points represent mean values and vertical lines represent 1 SEM. The p values are for nesiritide versus placebo comparison using a longitudinal repeated measures analysis of variance model.
