NCT01046838

Brief Summary

In patients with Doppler echocardiographic signs of elevated LV filling pressures despite preserved LV systolic function after AMI treatment with the phosphodiesterase inhibitor sildenafil 40 mg three times daily for 9 weeks will compared with placebo

  1. 1.Improve resting LV filling and cardiac hemodynamics.
  2. 2.Improve exercise capacity.
  3. 3.Improve filling pattern and cardiac hemodynamics during exercise.
