| Erectile Dysfunction Linked to Heart Disease
Friday , 01 Dec 2006
Men suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED) may need to
worry more about their hearts than their diminished sexual
function.
Dr. Stephen Lapin, a urologist with The Methodist Hospital,
says an early warning sign of heart disease is when atherosclerotic
plaque begins to form in the blood vessels, restricting blood
flow.
This plaque is more damaging to penile circulation than in
other vessels due to their small size.
Erectile dysfunction
affects more than 300 million men worldwide between the ages
of 40 and 70.
Lapin believes if urologists are aware of this connection
that they can alert their patients who can then make changes
in diet and exercise.
