Inclusion Criteria

  • New York Heart Association Functional class (NYHA Fc) ≥ 2 dyspnea which was sustained till one year after the previous mitral valve surgery (repair or replacement)
  • TR Vmax ≥ 3.5m/s by echocardiography
  • Normal left ventricle ejection fraction (EF ≥ 50%)
  • Pulmonary vascular resistance ≥ 3 Wood Unit or diastolic pressure gradient ≥ 7mmHg by cardiac catheterization

Exclusion Criteria

  • Other valve disease more than moderate degree (ex. aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation)
  • Liver cirrhosis
  • Chronic renal failure with serum creatinine ≥ 1.7mg/dL
  • Lung disease (ex. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Asthma)
  • Thyroid dysfunction
  • Other causes which can lead to pulmonary hypertension

Arms & Interventions

Sildenafil

Experimental

Sildenafil 20mg tid for six months (* consider open-label extension study for 1 year)

Intervention: Sildenafil (Drug)

Placebo

Placebo Comparator

Placebo tablets do not contain an active ingredient but are identical in shape with each active tablet of Sildenafil

Intervention: Placebo (Drug)

Outcomes
