Acute Hemodynamic Effects of Sildenafil in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Sildenafil for Aortic Stenosis. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Pulmonary hypertension is common in patients with aortic stenosis and is associated with worse operative and long-term outcomes. Sildenafil has been shown to reduce pulmonary artery pressure and improve exercise performance in patients with left-sided heart failure, but this has not been tested in patients with aortic stenosis. We hypothesize that Sildenafil will produce a clinically significant decrease in pulmonary artery pressure in patients with severe aortic stenosis. The dose of Sildenafil that produces a significant decrease in pulmonary artery pressure will be safe and well tolerated in patients with and without a depressed ejection fraction.
