What is Longitudinal Risk of Developing Cardiovascular Diseases in Patients with Erectile Dysfunction—Which Patients Deserve More Attention? about?
## Background: Erectile dysfunction (ed) is widely considered as an early manifestation of cardiovascular diseases (cvds), sharing similar risk factors. ## Aim: Assess rates and predictors of developing cvd and/or hypertension (htn) over a long-term follow-up period using user-friendly and clinically reliable tools in men presenting with ed but without cvd/htn or known vascular risk factors at baseline. ## Methods: Data from 108 patients presenting between 2005 and 2011 with ed were analyzed. all patients were free from cvd and/or htn (cvd/htn) at baseline. patients completed the international index of erectile function (iief) at baseline and were followed up every 6 months with clinical assessment or phone interview. kaplan-meier analyses estimated the probability of developing cvd/htn over time. cox-regression models tested the association between patient baseline characteristics (for example, age, charlson comorbidity index, baseline iief-ef, ed severity, alcohol intake, smoking), response to phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors (pde5is), and the risk of developing cvd/htn. ## Results: Of all, 43 (40%) patients showed iief-ef scores suggestive of severe ed; 37 (39%) and 59 (61%)
