Vascular disease is a major cause of impotence in patients over the age of 40. In a prospective study of 130 impotent patients followed for 24 to 36 months, patients with a penile brachial pressure index (PBPI) of 0.65 or less had a significantly greater risk of a myocardial infarction or a cerebrovascular accident than patients with higher PBPIs. It is concluded that impotence in association with a low PBPI should be considered an indicator of a future major vascular event.
血管疾病是40岁以上患者阳痿的主要原因。在一项对130名阳痿患者进行24至36个月随访的前瞻性研究中，阴茎肱动脉血压指数（PBPI）为0.65或更低的患者发生心肌梗死或脑血管意外的风险明显高于PBPI较高的患者。结论是，伴有低PBPI的阳痿应被视为未来重大血管事件的一个指标。
