Trial Purpose

This study is to demonstrate the safety, tolerability, pharmakokinetic and pharmacodynamic effect of a single oral dose of BAY63-2521 in patients with pulmonary hypertension due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Inclusion Criteria
- Patients with pulmonary hypertension due to COPD, undergoing routine invasive measurement of hemodynamic parameters.
 - Catheters for measurement of hemodynamic parameters (PAP [pulmonary artery pressure], PCWP [pulmonary capillary wedge pressure], CO [cardiac output], SBP [systolic blood pressure]) must be in place independent of the trial.
Exclusion Criteria
- Acute exacerbation of COPD,
 - Pre-existing lung disease other than COPD,
 - Acute or severe chronic left heart failure,
 - Severe coronary artery disease,
 - Uncontrolled arterial hypertension;
 - Severe left ventricular hypertrophy,
 - Congenital or acquired valvular or myocardial disease,
 - Systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg,
 - Heart rate < 55 bpm or >105 bpm,
 - PaO2 (arterial partial oxygen pressure)/FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen) < 50 mmHg,
 - PaCO2 (arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide) > 55 mmHg,
 - Severe hepatic insufficiency,
 - Severe renal insufficiency.
