Vasculogenic Erectile Dysfunction Is a Predictor of Abnormal Stress Echocardiography

A significant proportion of men with vasculogenic ED have abnormal cardiac stress test. The greatest chance for abnormal cardiac stress test was observed in those with corporo-venocclusive dysfunction or family history of CAD. In some men presenting with ED, even without a CAD history, performing penile DUS or cardiology referral for stress testing should be considered. Mulhall J, Teloken P, and Barnas J.
