Erectile Dysfunction as an Obesity-Related Condition in Elderly Men with Coronary Artery Disease.

: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in elderly men with overweight or obesity and coronary artery disease. : Patients recruited in cardiac rehabilitation centers post-myocardial infarction provided demographic and anthropomorphic data. ED was assessed using the abbreviated International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF-5) Questionnaire.

Erectile Dysfunction in Men Burdened with the Familial Occurrence of Coronary Artery Disease.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) and coronary artery disease (CAD) share common risk factors, some of which have genetic backgrounds, while others may be stimulated by family lifestyle. We investigated the impact of the familial occurrence of CAD on the presence of ED and the presence of classic risk factors for ED in men with CAD. This cross-sectional observational study involved 751 men with CAD who were subjected to cardiac rehabilitation.

Efficacy of low energy shock-wave therapy generated using an electrohydraulic device in the treatment of ED: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objectives: Over 50% of elderly men and 70% of male cardiac patients suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED). Although pharmacotherapy is effective and safe, it only brings a short-term improvement and may cause side effects. Low energy shock-wave therapy (LESWT) is a promising causative modality for the treatment of ED.

Diagnosis of hypogonadism in patients treated with low energy shock wave therapy for erectile dysfunction: a narrative review.

Several methods of treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) are offered with low energy shock-wave therapy (LESWT) gaining increasing attention. Reports have documented that LESWT stimulates tissue neovascularization, proliferation and differentiation of endothelial cells, and production of nitric oxide - all can improve the condition of erectile tissue. However, the overall and sexual condition of men deteriorates with age which is linked with a constant decrease in testosterone concentration.
