Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

In this study, the investigators will evaluate the effect of sildenafil on exercise tolerance in patients with a single cardiac ventricle who have undergone the Fontan operation. The investigators will also evaluate echocardiographic measures of ventricular function and measure quality of life changes using two validated quality of life measures. The hypothesis is that sildenafil will result in increased exercise tolerance in patients who have had the Fontan operation as compared to placebo.
