Subject: Viagra for use of ischemia?
Doctor said Viagra twice when discussing medications for a woman patient with ischemic ulcers at the tips of the index and middle fingers and poor circulation to the left hand.
It was clear. I know it is the nice blue pill for men, but are you aware of any other uses for it?

that this can also be used for PAH, which makes sense for the text you posted. Re-listen and see if you hear that. Otherwise, I would leave it blank.
I'm not sure if you're a new MT or not (and I don't want to seem condescending if you're not) but just in case you are, I found this by:
1) Googled 'pulmonary hypertension treatment'
2) 'Sildenafil' grabbed my eye as having the essential sounds that the mushmouth used (LOL)
3) I looked up Sildenafil on the RxList.com medication site to be sure it was used
4) Again, I highly suggest you re-listen to the dictation and be sure that you hear 'Sildenafil'. .
(PLUS, I also learned something new today...that Viagra has other uses -- I absolutely love learning something new).
