  1. BSV, between-subject variability; CI, confidence interval; CV%, coefficient of variation; IC50, concentration of lysine-vasopressin that produces 50% of the maximal response; Imax, maximum change in HR; L-VP, lysine-vasopressin; MAP, mean arterial pressure; RSE, relative standard error
  2. aMAP = B0 + Imax *L-VP/(IC50 + L-VP)
  3. bParameter precision (RSE%) is expressed as CV%
  4. c95% CI estimated by bootstrap method
