Is Viagra / Cialis harmful to your heart? | UroChannel

Many men are afraid that Viagra / Cialis might be harmful to their heart. Dr. med. dr. phil. Stefan Buntrock, urologist from Göttingen, explains in this video on UroChannel, that PDE-5 inhibitors are not dangerous to the heart. As a matter of fact, this class of drug was developed for cardiovascular indications. Because of unexpected side effects in terms of increased erectile functionality, Sildenafil was shifted away from cardiology to urology. But research has shown, that these drugs have a lot of benefits for heart patients. So within 10 to 15 years, Viagra will probably become one of the standard treatments for heart patients. For the time being, it is licensed for pulmonary hypertension. Contradindications concern mainly a simultaneous use together with nitrates. This must not be done since it may cause a fatal drop in blood pressure. Likewise, unselective alpha blockers should not combined with these drugs and a certain class of antiarrhythmic drugs. This means that Viagra / Cialis / Levitra / Stendra is safe for most men when it comes to the heart.

Even if it is bad for the heart it’s worth it.

I take a generic of Levitra and have been taking for 15 years about once a week. If you use it for ED it works best on an empty stomach. It may not affect the heart, but after the wife and I are done, my heart beats very fast, but in a few minutes the heart rate returns to normal. Probably from the actual event and not the fault of the drug😃

I love cialis on weekends...makes a good thing even better 👍

I’m retired Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. We used Sildenifil to ween infants, with Persistent Pulmonic Hypertension off Nitric Oxide. Of course they were in Intensive Care with arterial lines, etc, and were getting a couple of echocardiograms a day.

Very important information. Finally something for the men

[darksavior]

I've actually heard the opposite, that PDE5's help promote circulation, and are good for cardio not the other way around.

[thenuclearsandwich]

Suppose men take these drugs for "enhancement" instead of just ED. What are the effects of long-term use? Will they eventually find that they can't perform without those drugs? We get bombarded with those ads encouraging the use of those type of drugs and I'm of the mindset that nothing good can come from the constant use of the drugs when you don't need it.

Sometimes sildenafil is less effective. Is it advisable to switch to tadalafil then?

[thetruth]

Doctor taking L arginine and L citruline advisable along with Tadalafil?

[abdelmjidossor]

[BIG_DRU]

Hey Doc should i be concerned about combining with nitrates from food too…..

[stto]

So important, thank You so much!! Kindly Stefan

[Black_Adam]

I've heard the opposite from my doctor. Especially low dose. They do nothing bad to the heart. Even if it took 10 years off my life it'd be worth it. I'd rather die like a lion then live like a sheep.

[lesterbeedell]

Cialis is a very good treatment for an enlarged prostate instead of Tamsulosin

[DJ_TRON]
