Brief Summary
The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of type-5 phosphodiesterase inhibitors (sildenafil) in primary and secondary pulmonary hypertension
Detailed Description
Patients with primary and secondary pulmonary hypertension will be recruited and admitted to the ICUs of the National Taiwan University Hospital.
