Summary
This study tests whether sildenafil (a drug often used for erectile dysfunction) can reduce blood vessel damage in people with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), a mechanical heart pump for advanced heart failure. About 50 adults with an LVAD will receive either sildenafil or a placebo. Researchers will use ultrasound and a tiny camera pill to check for changes in blood vessel stiffness and gut bleeding spots over six months.
