Pulmonary Hypertension

Brief summary

The objective of this surveillance is to collect information about 1) adverse drug reaction not expected from the LPD (unknown adverse drug reaction), 2) the incidence of adverse drug reactions in this surveillance, and 3)factors considered to affect the safety and/or efficacy of this drug.

Detailed description

All the patients whom an investigator prescribes the first SILDENAFIL(Revatio) should be registered consecutively until the number of subjects reaches target number in order to extract patients enrolled into the investigation at random.

Interventions

DRUGSILDENAFIL

Revatio® Tablets 20 mg Dosage, Frequency: According to Japanese LPD, For oral use, the adult dose is 20 mg three times a day. Duration: According to the protocol of A1481263, the duration of the investigation for findings regarding safety and efficacy of a patient is from the first drug administration to the 3 years after the first administration.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events3 yearsA treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to sildenafil citrate in a participant who received sildenafil citrate. A treatment-related serious adverse event was a treatment-related adverse event resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; lifethreatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Relatedness to sildenafil citrate was assessed by the physician/investigator.
