Description
Summary:Erectile Dysfunction Predicts Coronary Heart Disease in Type 2 Diabetes Ronald Ching-Wan Ma, Wing-Yee So, Xilin Yang, Linda Wai-Ling Yu, Alice Pik-Shan Kong, Gary Tin-Choi Ko, Chun-Chung Chow, Clive Stewart Cockram, Juliana Chung-Ngor Chan, Peter Chun-Yip Tong Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common but often neglected finding in patients with type 2 diabetes. Cross-sectional studies suggested that ED was associated with coronary heart disease (CHD). The prospective relationship between ED and the development of new CHD events is not well established. This study suggests that ED is an independent predictor of new CHD events in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes and without clinically overt cardiovascular disease. Patients with symptoms of ED should be identified for comprehensive cardiovascular assessments.
