Measure
All Study Participants
Participants will be randomized to take one of the study medications (Sildenafil, Losartan, placebo oral tablet, and Sildenafil and Losartan) at a time. Participants will be randomized to take these medications for 3 months with a washout period of one month before starting the next medication. The order or medications taken is random in order to blind the investigator and participant
