Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: 1. mitral filling pattern, diastolic E/e´ ratio and left atrial volume, 2. pulmonary wedge pressure, cardiac index and pulmonary artery pressure, at rest and during submaximal exercise. ;Secondary Objective: 1. Sildenafil 40 mg three times daily compared with placebo to compared exercise capacity judged by bicycle ergometer testing. 2. Sildenafil 40 mg three times daily compared with placebo to compared changes in NT-pro BNP. 3. Sildenafil 40 mg three times daily compared with placebo to compared changes in diastolic E/e´ ratio during submaximal exercise. 4. Sildenafil 40 mg three times daily compared with placebo to compare regional systolic function assessed with tissue tracking;Primary end point(s): Primary aims: Among 60 patients with a recent AMI randomized to treatment with sildenafil 40 mg three times daily compared with placebo for 14 weeks to compare 1. mitral filling pattern, diastolic E/e´ ratio and left atrial volume, 2. pulmonary wedge pressure, cardiac index and pulmonary artery pressure, at rest and during submaximal exercise. | — |
