A member asked:
In what way can viagra (sildenafil) lead to heart attacks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lower blood pressure: Sildenafil dilates blood vessels in the body and can lead to lower blood pressure, particularly in combination with other vasodilating drugs. If the blood pressure drops too low, and if there are blockages in the coronary arteries, it is possible that a heart attack could ensue.
