Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Zydena (Udenafil) has effect on cerebral blood flow and peripheral blood viscosity in normal and subcortical vascular cognitive impairment subjects.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Udenafil is a newly developed selective phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5i). Since PDE5i is known to relax smooth muscle cells, it is suggested that PDE5i may dilate cerebral vessels and lead to an increase in cerebral blood flow. The main mechanism of subcortical vascular cognitive impairment are hypoperfusion of the brain. Therefore, in this study, the investigators will investigate whether Udenafil can increase cerebral blood flow and also lower peripheral blood viscosity in normal and subcortical vascular cognitive impairment subjects.
