Dynamic penile peak systolic velocity predicts major adverse cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients with erectile dysfunction.

Objective: Hypertension is associated with an abnormal penile blood flow. Reduced dynamic penile peak systolic velocity (D-PSV) correlates with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The aim of this study is to investigate whether abnormal penile blood flow predicts major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in hypertensive men.

Amino-terminal pro-C-type natriuretic peptide is associated with the presence, severity, and duration of vasculogenic erectile dysfunction.

Background: Endothelial dysfunction is a key event in the pathophysiology of erectile dysfunction (ED) and generalized vascular disease. C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a paracrine molecule that effects endothelial integrity and vascular tone.

Objective: To determine the role of CNP in men with vasculogenic ED.

Prevalence of asymptomatic coronary artery disease in men with vasculogenic erectile dysfunction: a prospective angiographic study.

Objectives: Erectile dysfunction (ED) shares common risk factors with coronary artery disease (CAD). It has been suggested that ED may be considered a clinical manifestation of a generalized vascular disease affecting also the penile arteries. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate angiographically the incidence of asymptomatic CAD in men with ED of vascular origin.
