Viagra Rescues
Monday, August 27th, 2007The way Viagra works, is to better the flow of blood that circulates around the human body by increasing the amount of a protein known as phosphodiesterase 5 that is found in the phallus and restricts the arteries in that area. However, this protein is also found in two other zones of the human body, the lungs and the right ventricle of the heart. Pulmonary hypertension affects the blodd stream to the lungs, therefore constricting the arteries and stretching the right ventricle of the heart. It is similar in diagnosis to blood hypertension, but the additional work the heart has to do to pump the protein around the body in the blood often is the reason of tiredness, dyspnea and in extreme cases can cause death of the patient. Having high blood pressure is easily controlled, and with the corresponding treatment patients can increment their life by more or less 20 years. However, if a patient has pulmonary hypertension, their life is greatly decreased. In the extreme cases, a patient might only have three years without the correct treatment, and this has a hurtful result on their quality of life. No essential test was done with this medical condition, as it was hard to determine. Then, in 2002 a study was executed on several patients who were suffering from this illness. ForegoingPrior tests with other drugs focused on healthy hearts, and did not reach successful results because it was difficult to strengthen the correct ventricle in combination with decreasing blood pressure and relaxing the lungs. This study involved giving patients strictly controlled doses of Viagra, and lead to amazing outcome. Viagra was identified to be very successful in enhancing the heart function of patients who have a stressed right ventricle, and decreased the hypertension in their lungs. Because Viagra is a completely sure and natural medicine that handles the chemical disbalance in the blood stream, doctors at Glasgow’s Yorkhill Children’s Hospital gave this treatment to infants who were suffering from severe pulmonary hypertension. The result was astounding. Many of these babies would not have made it without this interference of Viagra, and the therapy has provided a breakthrough with making better patient treatmentmedicine. Viagra is also helpful in cases such as lung transplant surgery, where the right ventricle can often collapse if the lung is rejected. Viagra is thought to be one of the most popular and successful treatment in cases such as erectile dysfunction, and now was proved a success in treating pulmonary hypertension. Widening the blood vessels and easing the breathing problems of the patient is a modern outbreak. Because Viagra has no notable side effects, it can now be given to many patients of all age categories who suffer from different blood related illnesses.
