The relationship between acute coronary syndrome and sildenafil

Turker, Yasin/0000-0002-5157-4624 WOS: 000324332900046 PubMed: 23791459 Sildenafil is a drug used for male erectile dysfunction. Sildenafil's fatal cardiac effects except due to hypotension with simultaneous nitrate use have not been reported. We reported in this case a 70-year-old man admitted to the emergency service with chest pain, which occurs in an hour after sildenafil use. Electrocardiogram showed inferoposterior ST-segment elevation. In angiography, total circumflex artery occlusion has been seen.
