The association between erectile dysfunction and CVD

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common neurovascular disorder that shares many common risk factors with cardiovascular disease (CVD). ED is also a cardiovascular risk factor itself and may be an early marker of future CVD. Men presenting with ED therefore provide an opportunity to screen for CVD risk factors and initiate targeted lifestyle changes and pharmacological intervention to reduce future risk.
