[Erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular disease].
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a highly prevalent disorder worldwide. ED and cardiovascular disease (CVD) share many risk factors, the former often being the presenting symptom. The knowledge of the relationship between CVD and ED, the cardiovascular implications of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors for the treatment of ED can help improve the quality of life of patients with both conditions. Cardiologists have a prominent role in treating ED.
