I had a very interesting conversation once with a Pharmacy Tech and he told me that the INITIAL developement of Viagra was as a cardiac drug.
Viagra for use of ischemia?
Subject: Viagra for use of ischemia?

Doctor said Viagra twice when discussing medications for a woman patient with ischemic ulcers at the tips of the index and middle fingers and poor circulation to the left hand.

It was clear. I know it is the nice blue pill for men, but are you aware of any other uses for it?
Viagra for women with SOB?
Subject: Viagra for women with SOB?

It sure sounds like he's saying Viagra, although he is pronouncing it Vee-aygra.  I do see a few things about Viagra for CHF but not really in women.  Thank you.

that this can also be used for PAH, which makes sense for the text you posted. Re-listen and see if you hear that. Otherwise, I would leave it blank. 


I'm not sure if you're a new MT or not (and I don't want to seem condescending if you're not) but just in case you are, I found this by:


1) Googled 'pulmonary hypertension treatment'
2) 'Sildenafil' grabbed my eye as having the essential sounds that the mushmouth used (LOL)
3) I looked up Sildenafil on the RxList.com medication site to be sure it was used
4) Again, I highly suggest you re-listen to the dictation and be sure that you hear 'Sildenafil'. .


(PLUS, I also learned something new today...that Viagra has other uses -- I absolutely love learning something new).
