Erectile dysfunction (ED) shares the same risk factors as coronary artery disease, so the level of occult cardiovascular risk in men with ED was assessed. A total of 174 men presenting with ED underwent cardiac risk stratification according to the Princeton Consensus Guidelines. Thirty per cent were stratified as intermediate/high cardiovascular risk and had ED treatment deferred until further cardiological assessment; 37% had abnormal lipid profiles; 24% had elevated HbA1C/glucose levels; 17% had uncontrolled hypertension; and 6% were suspected of having significant angina. ED is associated with a high incidence of occult cardiovascular disease. We suggest that cardiologists can significantly contribute to the management of ED.
