Erectile Dysfunction is usually an early warning sign of some underlying cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis, better known as clogged artery disease. This warning can appear well in advance of a medical diagnosis, in fact, it has been established that some cases of ED have appeared some years before heart disease, in the same patients.
Not paying attention to the different manifestations of ED can make it too late when you want to address your heart health problems, and in the vast majority of cases, starting to model a new and improved lifestyle can help to your heart, but it also does not guarantee that ED will go away or be effectively reversed.
Despite the above, not even consumers of traditional ED medications know that none of these drugs to combat Erectile Dysfunction should be combined with heart medications or nitrates since this mix can cause our blood pressure to plummet arterial. Even the so-called “Alpha Blockers”, which are medications that many men take for urinary symptoms, can lead to a decrease in blood pressure, and for this reason, we must be careful NOT to take them, at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after. taking a drug for ED.
Above, if we want to see Erectile Dysfunction as an announcement of possible heart disease, but it turns out that this can also be a symptom of a pre-existing disease, then…
What heart diseases cause erectile dysfunction?
In the past, it was believed that the buildup of plaque in the arteries of the body was the main reason why Erectile Dysfunction used to precede heart problems. The postulates said that this accumulation of plaques reduced the blood flow that traveled to the penis, which would make it difficult or impossible to have strong and prolonged erections.
However, thanks to medical advances, experts now know that Erectile Dysfunction that precedes heart problems is more often due to endothelial and smooth muscle dysfunction. It is this failure of the inner lining of the blood vessels, clinically known as endothelial dysfunction, that causes the insufficient blood supply to the heart, and therefore poor blood flow to the penis.
Through the performance of different clinical trials, it has been possible to demonstrate a direct correlation between cardiovascular risk factors and ED, these factors are diabetes mellitus, obesity, smoking, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.
