Clinical trials: Exercise Capacity
Cystic Fibrosis
Blood Flow and Vascular Function in Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) has many health consequences. A reduction in the ability to perform exercise in patients with CF is related to greater death rates, steeper decline in lung function, and more frequent lung infections.

- Testing
- Sildenafil (Acute-1 hour), Sildenafil (Subchronic-4 weeks)
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 19 people, healthy volunteers welcome
