Sildenafil citrate for erectile dysfunction in men receiving multiple antihypertensive agents: a randomized controlled trial.

abstract：:Recent publications purporting to show that calcium antagonists, when used for the treatment of hypertension or in the post myocardial infarction patient, would paradoxically increase the rate of heart attack and mortality have cast doubts on the safety and efficacy of this drug class. All three studies are retrospect...
