This week we review the topic of pulmonary hypertension and specifically the use of sildenafil for treatment of this difficult problem. Is this agent safe in children? How commonly does it need to be discontinued for side effects? Is it effective? Do patients ever improve to a degree that it can be discontinued? We review all of these questions and more with Dr. Jennifer Cohen who wrote this work while a general cardiology fellow at Columbia University but is now the Advanced Non-Invasive Imaging Fellow at The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai - NYC. doi: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2018.09.067
