Background-cGMP phosphodiesterase type 5 protein is upregulated in myocardial hypertrophy. However, it has never been ascertained whether phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibition exerts an antiremodeling effect in nonischemic heart disease in humans. We explored the cardioreparative properties of a selective phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, sildenafil, in a model of diabetic cardiomyopathy.Method and Results-Fifty-nine diabetic men (60.3 +/- 7.4 years) with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging consistent with nonischemic, nonfailing diabetic cardiomyopathy (reduced circumferential strain [sigma], -12.6 +/- 3.1%; increased left ventricular [LV] torsion [theta], 18.4 +/- 4.6 degrees; and increased ratio of LV mass to volume, 2.1 +/- 0.5 g/mL) were randomized to receive sildenafil or placebo (100 mg/d). At baseline, the metabolic indices were correlated with torsion, strain, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, vascular endothelial growth factor, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, and blood pressure. After 3 months, sildenafil produced a significant improvement compared with placebo in LV torsion (Delta theta: sildenafil, -3.89 +/- 3.11 degrees versus placebo, 2.13 +/- 2.35 degrees; P
