Cardiometabolic conditions—including hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity—are strongly associated with erectile dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction impairs nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation, compromising penile blood flow.
Erectile dysfunction may precede cardiovascular events, serving as an early clinical marker. Comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment is therefore recommended in men presenting with sexual dysfunction.
Lifestyle modification and pharmacologic management of underlying conditions improve both cardiovascular and sexual erotic outcomes.
