Your Erectile Dysfunction Might Be Hiding Heart Disease

‼️ Although erectile dysfunction is often seen as merely a sexual problem, it can actually be an early warning sign of cardiovascular disease. In this broadcast, together with Cardiologist Dr. Onur Şahin, we explore in detail the scientific relationship between erectile dysfunction and vascular health in men.

✔️ Many men experiencing erectile problems may in fact have silent coronary artery blockages or circulatory dysfunction that have not yet produced symptoms. Because the penile arteries are much thinner than coronary arteries, the very first alarm often appears as a decline in sexual function.

🔎 In this broadcast, you will find:
• Can erectile dysfunction predict the risk of a heart attack?
• How does atherosclerosis affect sexual performance?
• Which men should undergo cardiology evaluation due to ED?
• The effects of lifestyle, nutrition, blood pressure and cholesterol on sexual function
• The cardiovascular significance of ED according to scientific guidelines

✔️ If you or your partner has erectile dysfunction, do not see it merely as a sexual issue. This video serves as a comprehensive guide for proper evaluation both from a urological and cardiological perspective.
