Viagra, used to treat sexual impotence, can strongly suppress abnormal heart rhythms known as arrythmias in sheep according to scientists.
In female sheep, the drug—also known as sildenafil—was able to suppress an arrythmia called Torsades de Pointes within 90 seconds by reducing the frequency of irregular heart rhythms caused by abnormal handling of calcium.
It also reduced the probability of Torsades de Pointes, which can lead to sudden cardiac death. However, the team believe the drug could treat other arrythmias as well.
Cardiac arrythmias often follow a heart attack, or result from heart disease. Though often benign , they can cause symptoms including palpitations, breathlessness, fainting and sometimes sudden death.
Treatments such as beta blockers and implantable defibrillators exist, though are not always effective.
Working on isolated sheep heart muscle cells known as myocytes, the research team were also able to measure their calcium stores- as well as their electrical properties.
Although calcium is a key driver of the heart's pumping action, its overload can be a root cause of arrythmias. Viagra was able to suppress the mechanism in the cell which causes calcium overload.
When a small amount calcium enters a myocyte, it triggers the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR)—a calcium store—to release a larger quantity of calcium.
When there is heart disease, the SR can become overloaded with calcium which in turn makes the heart beat at the wrong time- when it is supposed to be resting between beats.
"In 2016, our study of patients with diabetes showed that incidental use of Viagra was linked with reduced heart attack risk and improved heart attack survival."
"In 2019, we found that Viagra can slow or even reverse the progression of heart failure in sheep and this work dramatically extends those important findings providing another tool with which to beat heart disease."

And naturally...
If you experience arrhythmia lasting more than four hours, you should seek immediate medical care.
I much prefer Horse Viagra.
When it comes to sex I have a herd mentality! :)
seek medical care before bragging to all your friends.
Yep. Pulmonary hypertension.
Problem is it has other effects, also. If you use the drug for the purpose it is being used for now, you end up with your heart rate possibly over 200 and if you don’t have an attack, it wears off and you’re right back where you started, needing a shower, and with arrhythmia again. It doesn’t cure it, it postpones it.
And according to Roman, generic costs $34 a dose. And this is something you will need to take back to back as the heart issue is still there.
And the effects starts, on average, normally working 30 to 60 minutes after you take it in oral tablet form. Viagra usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours before its effects start to diminish. Viagra can last up to 5 hours or longer depending on your dosage, your body’s metabolism, and other external factors.
So if you’re treating your heart with it, you significant other will probably kill you in about 2 days.

It fixes your heart but you just can’t wear sweatpants out in public ever again.
Roman is a frickin’ ripoff. It’s generic now, at < $1/dose.
I think it’s nitric oxide, isn’t it? People doing weights and strength training take it for this reason(heart and circulation).
Probably A-fib, hangover, and robbed if lucky. Is this a good friend?
:-)
I’ll let “him” know...
:)
Thank you. But your wife is still going to kill you.

And I see Ads selling sildenafil without prescription from your doctor.
To overcome the Hillary factor you would need several. Then you run the risk of having to sit in the waiting room after 4 hours.
Say, big boy, are you suppressing abnormal heart rythems, or are you just happy to see me?
You may need a pork sammich.
