Very interesting new study about the correlation between erectile dysfunction and death among those with heart disease:
Men with cardiovascular disease, also known as heart disease, and ED were twice as likely to die from all causes than men who did not have erectile dysfunction. And those with ED were 1.6 times more likely to suffer from a serious cardiovascular problem such as a heart attack or stroke.This is an excellent reminder that drugs like Viagra treat the symptom, erectile dysfunction, but they don't treat the underlying cause. Often, people know the cause. Diabetes, another medication, anxiety, or just old age may be causing the ED. However, it's important if you are suffering from ED to tell your primary care physician so he or she can do the necessary tests and rule out something more serious underlying it.
