Men With Erectile Dysfunction More Likely to Suffer Heart Attack or Stroke

Guys suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED) might want to take a deeper look at this troubling and often embarrassing symptom before simply resorting to that little blue pill for relief. 

According to a recent study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, showing signs of ED can be a pretty strong indicator of a future cardiovascular event such as a heart attack or stroke.

While researchers weren't conducting a new study session of their own, their research turned up some striking results. First of all, men who reported suffering from ED were 59 percent more likely to eventually develop coronary heart disease, and 34 percent more likely to suffer a stroke.

Speaking separately to the matter, cardiologist Dr. Ron Blankstein of Massachusetts Brigham and Women's Hospital told CNN “Erectile dysfunction can develop actually years before men have other signs or symptoms of cardiovascular events... In many cases, it might be the first warning sign of underlying cardiovascular disease.”

Going on to call ED the “canary in the coal mine,” the cardiologist pointed out that the small blood vessels of the penis being unable to dilate signaled more than just a frustrating symptom of aging or poor lifestyle choices.

The study’s authors also signaled that the appearance of significant and prolonged ED was likely tied to an early death. 

Bottom line? Whether you're suffering from ED or not, you might want to also consider ways to strive for a healthy lifestyle, whether it’s a change in diet or exercise or both. It’s important to keep that ticker moving if you want to perform when it comes time to hit the sheets — or to have time to hit the sheets at all.
