Researchers from the University of Chicago have reported that erectile dysfunction may be a warning sign of serious heart disease. Recent studies have tied erectile dysfunction to vascular disease, but this study links it with abnormal results on cardiac stress testing. One recent report found that men who had no problems with sexual function at the start of the seven-year study but later developed erectile dysfunction were 25 percent more likely to have a heart attack or stroke compared with those who did not develop erectile dysfunction.
Among patients with symptoms that require stress testing, a very high prevalence of erectile dysfunction was found as over 50 percent of them had some degree of erectile dysfunction. The study examined 221 men who had nuclear stress testing, a common, non-invasive way of determining the severity of coronary heart disease. Before testing, the men completed a questionnaire that assessed erectile function.
Erectile dysfunction is a very common disease which can be treated with the help of prominent medications such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.
