Hemodynamic effects of sildenafil in men with severe coronary artery disease

Article Abstract:

Viagra does not appear to have any adverse effects on blood flow to and from the heart in patients with coronary artery disease. Researchers gave Viagra to 14 men who had severe coronary artery disease and used Doppler ultrasound to measure blood flow to and from the heart. The drug had no adverse effect on blood flow even increased blood flow slightly in coronary arteries that were partially blocked from atherosclerosis.
