Sildenafil is starting to look like a wonder drug, with 45% improvement in cardiac performance at high altitude, dramatic improvement in cardiac stroke volume for heart failure, dramatic improvement in lung performance...

MW - I might have to check out the Sildenafil. Sounds very interesting. I carry Nitro but haven't used/needed to use it in years so I don't thing it's contra-indicated. I'll have to ask my cardiologist about it when I see him Friday. On the other hand I'm not sure I would consider Viagra for enhanced night vision. Seems to fall in the same catagory as using Benadryl for a sleeping pill - abusing a side effect. (I'll leave the obvious wisecrack comments for somebody else. ) Peregrino
