Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
Viagra in presence of heart disease and patients on anti hypertensive drugs is not advisable.
Viagra is known to cause a fall in BP, so if used along with BP lowering pills it can result in severe fall in BP which may have its adverse impact on the heart which can be dangerous in a patient with triple by pass surgery.
Hope this answers your query.
Best regards.
