| Primary end point(s): ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective of part A is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of the respective dose levels. The secondary objective of part B is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics and subjective effects on dyspnoea of the respective dose levels of BAY 58-2667. ;Main Objective: The primary objective of part A is to investigate the hemodynamic and subjective effects on dyspnoea and well-being of 3 doses of BAY 58-2667 given intravenously over 2 hours per dose step in a dose escalation manner. In total, 3 dose steps per subject are planned. The primary objective of part B is to investigate the hemodynamic effect of BAY 58-2667 given intravenously over 6 hours. | — |
