Introduction: Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase 5 enzyme inhibitor used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. The use of sildenafil with nitrates is well known to cause myocardial ischemia. However, patients with a history of hypotension, arrhythmia, previous myocardial infarction, or stroke should be given sildenafil carefully. A few cases have been reported in the literature related to ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack due to sildenafil use.
