We know that men w/heart disease are also predisposed to have erectile dysfunction (ED). We understand the pathophysiology, too: both conditions are due to lack of adequate blood flow. However, the big question is whether one leads to the other; more specifically, whether ED predicts heart disease later on.
Multiple studies over the last decade have essentially led to the conclusion that ED, in fact, predates heart disease. Worse, the younger one reports ED, the greater one's chances of having clinically manifest heart disease. Granted, there are often psychological reasons for ED, but in general, most physicians now agree that ED leads to heart disease. In fact, a very nice review of the available data was just published.

The next step then is to make ED an acceptable diagnosis and take it out of the closet, just like we've managed to do w/mental illness (although we're still far from our goal there, too). Once we can acknowledge ED, we can then start screening for heart disease at an earlier subclinical stage where we can make (population level) changes to minimize the impact of heart disease on our families, our nation, and our economy.
Of course, by screening, we spend more money (which we don't have). The flip side is that we're stimulating the economy, right? Well, we can't screen everyone, at least not right now, it's just not practical. But this review posits a simple algorithm to stratify those with ED into low, intermediate, and high risk of heart disease based upon age and other known cardiovascular risk factors. The author focuses specifically on those in the intermediate risk group for further evaluation with our current set of tools. And just who are those men? Anyone w/cardiovascular risk factors (that's obvious) regardless of erectile function as well as those men <60yo w/ED who may (or may not) have cardiovascular risk factors.
As patients it is our budget that we consider first. To avoid long medication and high expenses, choose the best doctor for ED. Try check online for medication and consultation.
