IntroductionCanine pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor used commonly in humans with PH, has not been evaluated in a clinical trial in dogs with naturally occurring PH. Our objectives were to compare the efficacy of tadalafil and sildenafil on PH assessed by peak tricuspid regurgitant flow velocity, estimated systolic pulmonary arterial pressure gradient, voluntary activity, quality of life, and safety profiles in dogs with moderate to severe PH.AnimalsTwenty-three dogs with echocardiographic evidence of moderate to severe PH were enrolled.MethodsA prospective short-term, randomized, double-blinded pilot study was carried out. Dogs with PH were randomly allocated to receive sildenafil or tadalafil for 2 weeks and assessed via echocardiography, activity monitors, and owner-reported outcomes.ResultsCollectively, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibition significantly decreased (improved) quality of life scores (p= 0.003) and visual analog score (p= 0.024) without significant between-treatment difference of these variables. Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibition did not significantly affect peak tricuspid regurgitant flow velocity (p= 0.056) or voluntary activity (p= 0.27). A total of 33% (7/21) of dogs experienced at least one adverse event during the study (tadalafil, n = 5; sildenafil, n = 2) with no significant difference between treatment type and incidence of adverse events (p= 0.36).DiscussionIn this pilot study, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibition led to apparent improvement in quality of life scores without documenting superiority of tadalafil over sildenafil.ConclusionTadalafil at a dose of 2 mg/kg once daily appears to be a viable alternative to sildenafil in dogs with moderate to severe PH.
