Unstable coronary artery disease is a contraindication for sildenafil use due to the risk of cardiovascular events. Before prescribing sildenafil, it is important to screen for cardiovascular disease and assess the patient's risk factors. Renal dysfunction, benign prostatic hypertrophy, and history of priapism may also be important to consider, but they are not absolute contraindications for sildenafil use.
