Abstract:
This study aimed to identify the associated variables of erectile dysfunction (ED) in post myocardial infarction (MI) patients without previous sexual dysfunction (SD). Out of the 37 patients, 15 (40%) had ED. Patients significantly reduced the frequency of coitus (P<0.05). Out of nine patients with distress, eight presented ED, and of 28 patients without distress, seven presented ED (89 versus 25%, P=0.001). The two groups (distress versus without distress) were similar regarding confounding variables. We concluded that patients without SD prior the MI had a significant incidence of ED and distress was an associated variable of ED post-infarction.
