| Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of a single infusion of tezosentan on Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) in patients with stable, chronic and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the effects of a single infusion of tezosentan on hemodynamic parameters. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single infusion of tezosentan. ;Primary end point(s): Change in PVR from Baseline to 30 minutes expressed as percent of the Baseline value. | — |
