Your ED: Heart Attack WARNING?!

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) isn't just a challenge in the bedroom; it could be your body's critical early warning system for heart health. In this powerful YouTube Short, Dr. Judson Brandeis reveals groundbreaking new guidelines highlighting that ED symptoms often appear 2 to 5 years before clinically evident cardiovascular disease. This makes ED a vital, non-negotiable early warning sign that demands your attention, regardless of your age. Learn why a full cardiovascular health check is now considered essential for all men experiencing ED, as it's a key risk marker for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Specifically, if you're dealing with vasculogenic ED – meaning issues related to blood flow – an assessment of your 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk is highly recommended using the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association risk score. For those identified as borderline to intermediate risk, typically a 5% to 20% chance of a major cardiovascular event in ten years, a Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score is advised. This specialized CT scan offers a detailed picture of calcium deposits in your heart's arteries, guiding personalized preventative treatments like statins. Dr. Brandeis also addresses common medications like phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil) for ED. While these have demonstrated robust cardiovascular safety over 25 years, a critical warning is issued: these medications must never be taken with nitrate-containing drugs, as this combination can cause dangerously low blood pressure. If you're currently prescribed nitrates, your doctor can help determine if alternatives are suitable. Your sexual health is deeply connected to your overall well-being.
