Men with High Blood Pressure have a new reason to get their condition under control - they may be at risk for erectile dysfunction, medical experts announced today at the American Society of Hypertension’s Twentieth Annual Scientific Meeting.
Two separate studies presented this week uncovered a commonly hypothesized link between the hypertension and erectile dysfunction (ED). One of these studies also demonstrated that of long-term use of sildenafil, a commonly prescribed ED treatment, was effective in improving aortic stiffness in patients suffering from the condition.
