Efficacy and Safety of Vardenafil for the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction in Men with Metabolic Syndrome: Results of a Randomized, Placebo‐Controlled Trial

This is the first study to assess the efficacy and safety of vardenafil, taken alone, for ED therapy in a population of men who all had metabolic syndrome. Although baseline erectile function in these patients was low, vardenafil treatment was associated with significant improvements in erectile function and rates of successful intercourse, and was well tolerated.
