First of all, coronary heart disease and erectile dysfunction (impotence) have the same etiology
Erectile dysfunction (impotence) and coronary heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases have the same pathological basis of vascular endothelial dysfunction. Therefore, the treatment has the same effect. That is, while improving the vascular endothelial dysfunction, increasing the blood supply of the heart, and curing coronary heart disease, the blood supply of the cavernous body of the penis is also improved, and the erectile function is thus restored.
Secondly, coronary heart disease is closely related to erectile dysfunction (impotence)
The change of erectile function may be the initial clinical manifestation of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis can occur from coronary artery, aorta to penile artery. The clinical analysis found that the probability of complete ED in patients with heart disease was 39%, significantly higher than the incidence rate of 9.6% in the total male population.
Hypertension, hyperlipemia, hyperglycemia, high body weight, old age, smoking and other factors are risk factors for coronary heart disease. Hypertension can not only cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also reduce blood flow in the lower body due to arteriosclerosis, thus affecting the erectile function of the penis. Hyperlipidemia can cause atherosclerosis, which is one of the main risk factors for hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, and also one of the factors leading to ED. In addition, some lipid-lowering drugs also have adverse effects on sexual function, such as antomin, which has the side effects of reducing sexual desire and sexual activity.
In addition, a survey showed that only 14.7% of male patients aged 48 to 65 years old who had been suffering from myocardial infarction for more than 2 years could maintain normal sexual function. In addition to the factors causing atherosclerosis in the penile artery, the patient's fear and apprehension can lead to the dysfunction of the cerebral cortex, and then affect the sexual function.
Therefore, when treating coronary heart disease, it will also have effect on erectile dysfunction (impotence).
