The effect of sildenafil on right ventricular remodeling in a rat model of monocrotaline-induced right ventricular failure

PurposePulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) leads to right ventricular failure (RVF) as well as an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance. Our purpose was to study the effect of sildenafil on right ventricular remodeling in a rat model of monocrotaline (MCT)-induced RVF.MethodsThe rats were dist...
