Brief Summary   This is a prospective randomised placebo controlled double blind study to assess the efficacy and safety of sildenafil and ambrisentan combination therapy versus mono therapy with sildenafil. 20 patients with primary pulmonary hypertension or eisenmenger syndrome will be included and randomised to receive either sildenafil with ambrisentan or sildenafil and placebo. They will be followed up for 6 weeks. Their baseline functional status and echocardiographic findings will be recorded and assessed at 6 week follow up. Any adverse effect will also be recorded and reported. This study has been given ethical clearance from the institute ethics committee PGIMER CHANDIGARH. This study is intended to be a part of postgraduate thesis.
