Key Questions in CONGENITAL CARDIAC SURGERY
18 What are the pharmacological properties of sildenafil?
Class of drug: phosphodiesterase inhibitor.
•
Mechanism of action: sildenafil relaxes the pulmonary arterial wall by

inhibiting the cyclic guanosine monophosphate specific
phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme that promotes degradation of
cGMP.
Indications: pulmonary arterial hypertension.
•
Cautions: hepatic impairment, renal impairment, concurrent use of
•
nitric oxide donors, hypotension, hereditary degenerative retinal
disorders, left ventricular outflow obstruction, pulmonary venoocclusive disease.
Side effects: headache, flushing, dyspepsia, nasal congestion,
•
disturbances in colour vision and photophobia.
Dose:
•
a) neonate-1 year: initially 250-500µg/kg every 4-8 hours,
maximum 30mg/day;
b) child (1-18 years):
i) body weight <20kg: 10mg t.d.s;

•
1 receptor preventing endothelin-1 attachment and pulmonary
vasoconstriction.

secondary prevention of cardiovascular events.
Cautions: renal impairment, renal artery stenosis, severe aortic
•
stenosis, concurrent use of potassium-sparing diuretics, children
under 20kg weight (not licensed for use for hypertension).

•
hyperkalaemia, persistent dry cough, angioedema.
