Association between endogenous serum testosterone concentrations and aortic pressures and pulse wave amplification indices in erectile dysfunction patients

Purpose: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is an independent predictor of future cardiovascular (CV) events. Aortic pressures (central) and low testosterone independently predict future CV events and mortality. The relationship between testosterone, central pressures and wave reflection indices in ED patients is unknown.
