Pulmonary Hypertension
Conditions
Brief summary
The main objective is to validate the safety and efficacy of intravenous and oral sildenafil in the acute vasodilator test in patients with persistence of, at least, moderate pulmonary hypertension after valvular surgery successfully, with a correct left ventricular function and no valvular disease hemodynamically significant.
Interventions
2 arms to comparation: Sildenafil 20mg oral vs intravenous Sildenafil 10mg

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients clinically stable, at least 1 year after the completion of successful valve surgery, with persistent pulmonary artery systolic pressure\> 50 mmHg, * normal left ventricular function and no significant valvular disease in 2 separate Doppler ultrasound studies at least 1 month.
Exclusion criteria
* Patients with other cardiac and noncardiac diseases will be excluded.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Effectiveness | one day per patient | The main efficacy parameter is the effect on pulmonary vascular vasodilation quantified as decreased Pulmonary Vascular Resistance. |
