`Abstract
`Nitric oxide (NO) induces the formation of intracellular cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) by guanylate
`cyclase. Sildenafil, which selectively inhibits phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) found predominantly in the
`corpora cavernosa of the penis, effectively blocks the degradation of cGMP and enhances erectile function in
`men with erectile dysfunction. The NO–cGMP pathway also plays an important role in mediating blood
`pressure. It is, therefore, possible that the therapeutic doses of sildenafil used to treat erectile dysfunction may
`have clinically significant effects on human hemodynamics. Three studies were undertaken to assess the
`effects of intravenously, intra­arterially, and orally administered doses of sildenafil on blood pressure, heart
`rate, cardiac output, and forearm blood flow and venous compliance in healthy men. A fourth study evaluated
`the hemodynamic effects of intravenous sildenafil in men with stable ischemic heart disease. In healthy men,
`significant (p <0.01) decreases in supine systolic and diastolic blood pressures were observed with
`intravenous sildenafil (20, 40, and 80 mg) at the end of the infusion period when plasma levels of sildenafil
`were highest (mean decreases from baseline of 7.0/6.9 and 9.2/6.7 mm Hg, for the 40­ and 80­mg doses,
`respectively). These changes were transient and not dose related. Modest reductions in systemic vascular
`resistance also were observed (maximum decrease 16%), although heart rate was not affected by sildenafil
`administration when compared with placebo. Single oral doses of sildenafil (100, 150, and 200 mg) produced
`no significant changes in cardiac index from 1–12 hours postdose between placebo­ and sildenafil­treated
`subjects. The approved dosage strengths of sildenafil citrate are 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg. The 80­mg
`intravenous dose and the 200­mg oral dose of sildenafil produced comparable plasma levels at twice the
`maximum therapeutic dose (recommended range, 25–100 mg). After brachial artery infusion of sildenafil (up to
`300 μg/min), there was a modest vasodilation of resistance arteries and a reversal of norepinephrine­induced
`preconstriction of forearm veins. These hemodynamic effects were similar to but smaller in magnitude than
`those of nitrates. In a small pilot study of men with ischemic heart disease, decreases from baseline in
`pulmonary arterial pressure (−27% at rest and −19% during exercise) and cardiac output (−7% at rest and
`−11% during exercise) were observed after 40­mg intravenous doses of sildenafil. Sildenafil was well tolerated
`by subjects and patients in all studies, with headache and other symptoms of vasodilation the most commonly
`reported adverse effects of treatment. Modest, transient hemodynamic changes were observed in healthy men
`after single intravenous or oral doses of sildenafil even at supratherapeutic doses. In men with stable ischemic
`heart disease, sildenafil produced modest effects on hemodynamic parameters at rest and during exercise.
