In a recent study, New England Research Institutes, Inc. (NERI) in collaboration with the Division of Cardiology, San Francisco General Hospital and the University of California, San Francisco aimed to test whether erectile dysfunction (ED) can help doctors to reclassify patients in regards to their future risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) beyond traditional risk factors (such as high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, etc).
Results of the 12-year research study are published in the January 26, 2010 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. They reveal that ED may be a predictible sign of a future cardiovascular event like heart attack, stroke, atherosclerosis, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and congestive heart failure. However, while ED is significantly related to CVD independent of traditional risk factors, it does not improve the prediction of who will and will not develop CVD beyond these risk factors.
