Study: viagra may help after heart attack RICHMOND, Va., March 2 (UPI) — Erectile dysfunction drugs may protect the heart better before and after a heart attack than nitroglycerin, Virginia researchers said. “Erectile dysfunction drugs can prevent damage in the heart not only when given before a heart attack, as we discovered previously, but also lessen the injury after the heart attack,” said Rakesh C. Kukreja, a professor of medicine and chairman of cardiology at Virginia Commonwealth University. The Virginia researchers studied two erectile dysfunction drugs : viagra and levitra - in animal models and found that both reduced damage to the heart muscle after a severe heart attack.
