The secondary goal is to document increased blood flow and lessened capillary dysfunction in these patients. Both of these goals are to be achieved using a course of treatment with Tadalafil.We anticipate a decrease in the frequency, duration and severity of Raynaud's attacks. Improved digital blood flow and digital blood pressures, and a decrease in digital capillary dysfunction. ;
