Impotence may be Linked to Heart Attack

Researcher say, impotence is predictor of heart attack for the fact that, when penile arteries are narrowed what speak of coronary arteries. It may be that testosterone deficiency at a later age may be the cause, which reduces sexual activity, a short of exercise at least two three times a week. Lack of sexual activity also related to type II diabetes. Testosterone gel application helps in control of blood glucose. Cramps in the limb muscles and changes in arteries in eyes, well could predict heart attack, which denotes macro-vascular changes.

The study of 1,519 men who already had cardiovascular disease found those who were also impotent had twice the risk of a heart attack or death as the rest. Impotence is linked to inadequate blood flow in the penile arteries. These are much smaller than coronary arteries. So for some men, a persistent failure to get an erection might be an early sign that his arteries are narrowing. As well as being twice as likely to die or have a heart attack, those with impotence were also 10% more likely to have a stroke and 20% more likely to be hospitalised for heart failure, after adjusting for factors like age and smoking. The study confirms previous research that has linked impotence and cardiovascular disease. It has been welcomed by British experts. Impotence ’strong predictor’ of heart attacks
