Long‐Term Effect of Inhibition of the Angiotensin‐Converting Enzyme (ACE) on Cavernosal Perfusion in Men with Atherosclerotic Erectile Dysfunction: A Pilot Study

Although a persisting improvement of cavernosal perfusion by at least a 6 month‐administration of an ACE inhibitor in men with advanced atherosclerotic ED could not be demonstrated in this pilot study, the beneficial effect on cavernosal perfusion, sexual activity, and erectile function in all participants of this study is remarkable. This pilot study warrants a follow‐up study in sexually more active men with ED and less advanced atherosclerosis to show that ACE inhibition may result in persisting improvement of cavernosal perfusion.
