Heart rate and blood pressure interactions in the development of erectile dysfunction in high-risk cardiovascular patients
Abstract
AIMS: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is associated with cardiovascular risk factors as elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP), resting high heart rate (HR), and endothelial dysfunction and predicts cardiovascular events. However, the interaction between high HR and SBP and the development of ED remains unclear.
