There is abundant evidence for the association between erectile dysfunction (ED) and the traditional atherosclerotic risk factors, such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, glucose intolerance, and obesity, that make up the metabolic syndrome. Recent findings have demonstrated a linear relationship between the number of these risk factors and the prevalence of ED. There is also growing evidence that endothelial dysfunction characterized by decreased bioavailability of nitrogen monoxide (NO) and a proinflammatory, prothrombotic, and proliferative phenotype is the common pathogenetic pathway linking ED to peripheral vascular diseases. Since ED often occurs several years before any clinical manifestation of systemic cardiovascular disease, ED should be seen as a warning of early atherosclerotic disease and an opportunity for doctor and patient to initiate preventive measures.
