Scientific title
Study objectivesDoes the selective phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor tadalafil reduce arterial stiffness and blood pressure in systolic hypertension?
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHypertension
InterventionThe project will assess the effects of a single dose of the selective phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor tadalafil on arterial stiffness and blood pressure in patients with systolic hypertension. Subjects will visit the Vascular Research Clinics for a screening visit and two study visits and will receive either placebo or tadalafil on each study visit. Measurements of blood pressure and arterial stiffness will be made at baseline and at hourly intervals for four hours following administration of the drug or placebo.
