NCT01936350

Brief Summary

Twenty-four patients with known heart failure will be recruited. They will undergo a cardiac magnetic resonance for ventricular analyses and after this first exam they will be randomized to placebo or Sildenafil. After one hour drug intake they will undergo another cardiac magnetic resonance to evaluate the drug impact on right and left ventricular function.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Improvement on ventricular function

    Patients will undergo a cardiac magnetic resonance to evaluate ventricular function after one hour of sildenafil or placebo use

    one hour

Study Arms (2)

Sildenafil

EXPERIMENTAL

12 patients will be in this group. They will take a sildenafil 50mg.

Drug: Sildenafil

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

12 patients will be in this group, they will take placebo

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

The intervention in this group is the use of sildenafil 50mg; this group will take placebo and will be evaluated by cardiac magnetic resonance before and after the oral use of the drug.

Sildenafil

This group will use placebo; this group will take placebo and will be evaluated by cardiac magnetic resonance before and after the oral use of the placebo pill.
