Erectile dysfunction and heart risks are interrelated
Tuesday, December 20, 2005
Erectile dysfunction
could signify cardiovascular troubles such as a stroke or heart
attack according to a recent research. The finding comes from an
analysis of men aged between 55 years and older, in the Prostate
Cancer Prevention Trial. Analyzing the 9,457 men randomly assigned
to placebo yielded to the first evidence of a strong association
between erectile dysfunction and subsequent development of clinical
cardiovascular events.
Though previous studies have also suggested the link between the
two but it did not prospectively monitor a population of asymptomatic,
healthy men for the development first of erectile dysfunction and
then of cardiovascular events. In a multivariate analysis of only
those men who developed
erectile dysfunction during the, the researchers found that
the risk of any cardiovascular event was significantly increased
for men with erectile dysfunction.
