Is Viagra good for the heart?

Here's some uplifting news: The men in those Viagra commercials have another reason to be happy -- they're doing something good for their heart by taking the drug. In fact, a study at the University of Alberta has even found that patients with a potentially fatal condition, a failing right ventricle of the heart, can improve by taking the drug.

The magic heart-healthy ingredient in Viagra and other erectile-dysfunction drugs is phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, although I suspect that the extra 'activity' that comes with taking Viagra probably has a healthy effect on the heart too.
