Are Viagra and Cialis Really Harmful to Your Heart? | UroChannel

Viagra is commonly thought to be harmful to the heart. But is this really true? Dr. med. Dr. phil. Stefan Buntrock, a urologist from Göttingen, discusses the safety of PDE5-inhibitors such as Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, and Stendra for the heart. He explains that while there is a myth that these drugs are bad for the heart and blood pressure, they were actually originally developed as a circulatory drug for angina. PDE5 inhibitors have a niche in treating pulmonary hypertension and have been found to improve cardiac function and reduce inflammation. However, it is important not to combine them with nitrates as this can lead to a life-threatening drop in blood pressure. It is advisable to viewers to talk to their doctor before starting these pills and consult a cardiologist if in doubt.
