Erectile Dysfunction, High Blood Pressure Linked

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.

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.
