Cardiologist Links Erectile Dysfunction To Future Heart Diseases

Dr Nick Gerning, a renowned cardiologist links erectile dysfunction to future cardiovascular (heart related) disease. He independently surveyed his patients who were treated, in past, for vascular problem or heart problem. Dr Nick found 60% of the patients who suffered heart attack had had erectile dysfunction problem before the heart attack.

Hence, Erectile dysfunction could be an early sign of heart diseases. "Given that penal artery is much smaller in size than main heart arteries, it is the first that gets blocked which results in difficulty in erection." He explains.

More concerning fact is only 10 percent of the total ED patients reports or seeks medical consultation with physician. This, as Dr nick believe, was how most of the heart events were difficult to predict. But if men are made aware of this relation between ED and heart disease they more are likely to discuss their problem with doctor. Usually men with ED problem starts taking erectile dysfunction medication such as viagra or cialis rather than consulting doctor.

Dr Nick emphasizes on a programme that includes awareness amongst physicians for this link so that they can educate their patients.

Many research and studies have found viagra effective in heart diseases. Since viagra dilates blood vessles it helps to lower blood pressure also.
