Abstract:
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the most common sexual problem experienced by men. The incidence increases with age and causes significant negative impacts on self-esteem, intimate relationships, mental health, and may be a powerful prognostic indicator for underlying vascular disease. The purpose of this clinical column is to provide an overview of the pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of vasculogenic ED in a patient with peripheral artery disease. There is very little research focused on the coexistence of these two disease conditions.
