Erectile dysfunction may be masking latent ischemic heart disease, according to researchers here.
In a study of almost 300 men with coronary artery disease, erectile dysfunction was seen to appear two to three years before coronary symptoms, reported Piero Montorsi, M.D., and colleagues, of the University of Milan online in the European Heart Journal.
And while erectile dysfunction is closely associated with coronary artery disease, it is more common among patients with chronic versus acute coronary syndrome, they wrote.
Erectile dysfunction appeared to correlate with severity of coronary artery disease. It was significantly less prevalent among men with single-vessel acute coronary syndrome than it was among men with two- or three-vessel disease acute coronary syndrome or patients with chronic coronary syndrome (22% versus 55% and 65% P<0.0001). It also correlated with plaque burden as assessed by angiography and measured by Gensini score (two in patients with single-vessel disease versus 21 in patients with two- or three-vessel disease and 40 in those with chronic coronary disease, P=0.0001).
Moreover, erectile dysfunction symptoms came prior to coronary artery disease symptoms in virtually all patients, appearing a mean three years earlier, they wrote.
Patients and controls were recruited from a population of 3,300 patients who underwent coronary angiography from May 2004 through July 2005.
The authors categorized the 285 patients with established coronary artery disease into three groups of 95 each. These were patients with acute coronary syndrome and single-vessel disease, patients with acute coronary syndrome and two- or three-vessel disease, and patients with chronic coronary syndrome regardless of the number of vessels. The groups were compared to a control group of 95 patients with suspected coronary artery disease who had completely normal vessels by angiography.
Erectile dysfunction was evaluated using the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction, a-15-item self-administered questionnaire with answers scored 0 to 5. Erectile dysfunction is defined as a score of less than 26.

Men in far northern South Africa turn to nature when seeking to achieve the effects of the male impotency drug.Viagra, it emerged in news reports this week.
The root of the wild Mpesu tree (Securidaca Longepeduculata) found in the villages of the Venda district near the Kruger National Park along the border with Zimbabwe, is said to be the source.
The compound extracted from its root and consumed with tea and other traditional drinks has been shown to relax the muscles of the male sex organs, sending a rush of blood that results in enhanced erections, according to researchers quoted in news media.
“You just have to see the local male population roving about with a spring in their step to realise their claims to being ‘the most sexually potent men on earth’ might be valid,” the Johannesburg-based Sowetan newspaper said in an article published Friday.
Botanists have confirmed the effects of the tree that has reportedly long been known to and exploited by traditional healers in the area.
A teaspoon of the medicine sells for around 50 rand (about 7 dollars), DPA reported.
“Though the active ingredients differ from Viagra, our tests showed it is just as effective,” Marion Meyer of the botany department at the University of Pretoria was quoted as saying.
