Previous studies have shown an increased incidence of erectile dysfunction (ED) among patients diagnosed with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Both conditions, which may be a consequence of underlying endothelial dysfunction, share many risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, depression, obesity, and cigarette smoking. Because vascular disturbance of the penile endothelium leads to ED, the possibility arises that ED may be an early indicator for systemic endothelial dysfunction and subsequent CVD. Recognizing ED as a disease marker for CVD may help to identify individuals at risk for having a premature cardiovascular event.
先前的研究表明，心血管疾病 (CVD) 患者勃起功能障碍 (ED) 的发病率增加。这两种疾病可能是内皮功能障碍的结果，它们有许多共同的危险因素，如高血压、血脂异常、糖尿病、抑郁、肥胖和吸烟。由于阴茎内皮的血管紊乱导致 ED，因此 ED 可能是全身内皮功能障碍和随后 CVD 的早期指标。将 ED 视为 CVD 的疾病标志物可能有助于识别有发生心血管事件风险的个体。
