✔️ Erectile Dysfunction & Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)

Erectile Dysfunction is the inability to achieve and maintain a firm erection suitable for sexual intercourse. It can result from physical or psychological factors such as anxiety, depression, or lifestyle choices like smoking, excessive drinking, obesity, sedentary habits, and high blood pressure. Symptoms include difficulty in getting or sustaining an erection and reduced sexual desire.

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a condition where high blood pressure affects the arteries in the lungs and heart. This condition arises due to narrowed or obstructed blood vessels, increasing the heart's workload. Symptoms encompass chest pain, dizziness, fatigue, and swelling in the legs and ankles.

✔️ Pharmacology

Sildenafil is a type 5 phosphodiesterase inhibitor that targets cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) (PDE5). The relaxation of smooth muscle in the corpus cavern sum and its associated arterioles initiates penile erection, which is a hemodynamic process. Nitric oxide is released in the corpus cavern sum during sexual stimulation.
