Erectile Dysfunction Indicates Future Heart Disease

A research study has confirmed Vasculogenic ED as marker for future cardiovascular disease. Presence of Vasculogenic indicates that a person is going to have heart disease.

Many earlier studies have established close link between erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular disease but failed to explain how exactly. The latest one has provided confirm proof that a biological marker is something that is responsible for heart diseases in patients who are suffering from erectile dysfunction.

Lead researcher of the study, Dr Kew Kim Chew says, the study has provided pathological evidence of connection on how atherosclerosis develops from endothelial dysfunction. Dr Chew is physician and senior clinical researcher at Keogh Institute for Medical Research.

Endothelial dysfunction is pathological status of membrane lining inside blood vessels. It is the status basically means imbalance in contraction and widening of blood vessels.

In both erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular disease, dysfunction of endothelium is caused by higher concentration of biomarkers (such as cytokines interleukin-6, interleukin-8 and 18) in plasma. Also high level of C-reactive proteins has also been noticed in both the condictions.

This way erectile dysfunction deomnstrates vascular disease in penile muscles. That is the reason that ED medicines such as viagra helps in heart diseases also.

Although ED may get developed because of psychological (anxiety, stress and depression) and neurological disorders, vascular disorder is more common cause. Vascular cause in more observed in young adults with liklihood of developing heart disease in future.
