Abstract
Objective: To analyze the improvement of mean pulmonary arterial pressure and oxygenation index as well as the therapeutic effect of sildenafil treatment in patients with congenital heart disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Methods: A total of 104 patients with congenital heart disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension were recruited from February 2023 to January 2024 and grouped into study and control groups using a randomized numerical table, with 52 patients in each group. The study group received sildenafil treatment, while the control group received conventional treatment. The therapeutic effects of both groups were analyzed and compared. Results: The study group had an average pulmonary arterial pressure of 26.23 ± 2.16 mmHg, an oxygenation index of 241.63 ± 4.86, and a total effective treatment rate of 98.08%, which was significantly better than the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: By implementing sildenafil treatment for patients with congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension, the mean pulmonary artery pressure and oxygenation index of the patients improved significantly, and the effective rate of treatment increased significantly.
