Hemodynamic and Gas Exchange Effects of Sildenafil in Patients with COPD and Pulmonary Hypertension
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 10/30/09

Blanco I et al. – In patients with COPD–associated PH, sildenafil improves pulmonary hemodynamics at rest and during exercise. This effect is accompanied by the inhibition of hypoxic vasoconstriction, which impairs arterial oxygenation at rest. The use of sildenafil in COPD should be done cautiously and under close monitoring of blood gases.
