- Episode/exacerbation of congestive heart failure (CHF) from any cause in the last 6 months. (An episode of CHF is any heart failure that required a change in medication, change in diet or hospitalization)
- Evidence of intracranial hemorrhage (intracerebral hematoma, intraventricular hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), epidural hemorrhage, acute or chronic subdural hematoma (SDH) on the baseline CT or MRI scan
- Known valvular heart disease with CHF in the last 6 months
- Known (or in the Investigator's clinical judgment) existence of severe aortic stenosis or mitral stenosis
- Cardiac surgery involving thoracotomy (e.g., coronary artery bypass graft, (CABG), valve replacement surgery) in the last 6 months
- Subject is a candidate for any surgical intervention for treatment of stroke which may include but not limited to endovascular techniques
- Subjects who are obese, body mass index (BMI) \> 30 and/or on hormonal contraceptives
- Hypo- or hyperglycemia sufficient to account for the neurological symptoms; patient should be excluded if their blood glucose is \< 3.0 or \> 20.0 mmol/L
- Patient has systolic BP \< 90 mmHg or \> 220 mmHg or diastolic BP \< 40 mmHg or \> 130 mmHg
- Acute myocardial infarction in the last 6 months
- Signs or symptoms of acute myocardial infarction, including electrocardiogram findings, on admission
- Concomitant treatment with neuroprotective or nootropic drugs (e.g. piracetam, citicoline, investigational, neuroprotecti-ve substances)
- Qualitative estimation of troponin on admission
- Suspicion of aortic dissection on admission
- Acute arrhythmia (including any tachy- or bradycardia) with hemodynamic instability on admission (systolic BP \< 100 mmHg)
- Findings on physical examination of any of the following: (1) jugular venous distention (JVP \> 4 cm above the sternal angle); (2) 3rd heart sound; (3) resting tachycardia (heart rate \> 100/min) attributable to CHF; (4) lower extremity pitting edema attributable to CHF; (5) bilateral rales; and/or (6) if a chest x-ray is performed, definite evidence of pulmonary edema, bilateral pleural effusion, or pulmonary vascular redistribution
- Current acute or chronic lung disease requiring supplemental chronic or intermittent oxygen therapy
- Serum creatinine \> 2.0 mg/dL or 180 μmol/L
- Severe chronic anemia (hemoglobin \< 7.5 g/dL)
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding or positive pregnancy test. (Women of childbearing age must have a negative pregnancy test prior to study drug administration)
- Concurrent participation in any other therapeutic clinical trial
- Evidence of any other major life-threatening or serious medical condition that would prevent completion of the study protocol, impair the assessment of outcome, or in which PMZ-1620 therapy would be contraindicated or might cause harm to the subject
