There is an association between non arteritic optic ischemia and the
use of Pde5 inhibitors. Patients at risk for this often have a small cup
to disc ratio. It is not a bad idea to have a dilated eye exam prior to
using the ED drugs. Truthfully, men who need ED drugs are usually at
high risk anyway for optic ischemia (stroke of the optic nerve)
because they are "vasculopaths."

Weight reduction, DASH, decrease sodium intake, exercise, decrease alcohol
consumption, & smoking cessation
-Is it acute or chronic or both?
-Is it systolic of diastolic HF?
-What is the EF?
-Cause of the heart failure?
-What is the blood pressure and volume status?
-What is the weight?
-Example: "Exacerbation of acute on chronic systolic heart failure; EF 35%" or
"Chronic diastolic HF; EF 60%" or "Chronic systolic HF; EF 40%"
Below the knee compression stockings starting 2-3 hours before flights
longer than eight hours are recommended for high risk patients. Frequent
, changes in position and flexion and extension of lower extremities can also
be helpful
-Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction HFrEF is systolic heart failure
-Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is HFpEF is diastolic heart failure
