To analyze erectile dysfunction (ED) in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD).
A consecutive series of men aged 50-65 years undergoing an echocardiography (EC) at the Danube hospital in Vienna was analyzed. All patients completed the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5). LVSD was defined by EC as an ejection fraction (EF) below 55%.
A total of 85 men (age, 58.5 years; standard deviation, 4.3) entered the analysis. Mean EF was 60.9% and mean IIEF-5 score 16.8. No ED (IIEF-5, 22-25) was present in 32 men (37.6%), mild ED (IIEF-5, 17-21) in 17 (20%), and 36 (42.4%) had moderate to severe ED (IIEF-5, 5-16). An EF below 55% was seen in 26 men (30.6%). Mean IIEF-5 in men with LVSD was 13.6 compared with 18.2 in those without LVSD (P = .005); the proportion of men with ED (IIEF-5 <22) was 76% in men with LVSD compared with 56.6% in those without LVSD (relative risk, 1.37; P = .05). In a logistic regression analysis adjusted for body mass index and age a declined IIEF-5 score was independently associated with a low EF (<or=55%) (P = .02).
Our data, generated via standardized assessment of LVSD (EC) and ED (IIEF-5) revealed a significant effect of chronic LVSD on erectile function in middle-aged men.
分析左心室收缩功能障碍(LVSD)患者的勃起功能障碍(ED)。
对维也纳多瑙河医院进行超声心动图(EC)检查的连续 50-65 岁男性进行了分析。所有患者均完成了国际勃起功能指数-5(IIEF-5)的测试。LVSD 通过 EC 定义为射血分数(EF)低于 55%。
共有 85 名男性(年龄 58.5 岁,标准差 4.3)进入分析。平均 EF 为 60.9%,平均 IIEF-5 评分为 16.8。32 名男性(37.6%)无 ED(IIEF-5,22-25),17 名男性(20%)轻度 ED(IIEF-5,17-21),36 名男性(42.4%)中至重度 ED(IIEF-5,5-16)。26 名男性(30.6%)EF 低于 55%。LVSD 男性的平均 IIEF-5 为 13.6,而无 LVSD 男性的平均 IIEF-5 为 18.2(P=.005);LVSD 男性 ED(IIEF-5<22)的比例为 76%,而无 LVSD 男性的比例为 56.6%(相对风险,1.37;P=.05)。在调整了体重指数和年龄的 logistic 回归分析中,IIEF-5 评分下降与 EF 降低(<或=55%)独立相关(P=.02)。
我们的数据通过标准化的 LVSD(EC)和 ED(IIEF-5)评估得出,结果显示慢性 LVSD 对中年男性的勃起功能有显著影响。
