Research: Erectile dysfunction may be deadly warning sign

Research: Erectile dysfunction may be deadly warning sign

Erectile Dysfunction may be more than just a sexual problem. New research shows that the ailment might be a deadly warning sign.

Dr. Franklin Lowe is a urologist who treats men for problems with their love life. But those symptoms may mean something more life-threatening

A new study finds…that Erectile Dysfunction, or E.D. is a key signal that men could be at great risk

The study of over 1500 men with heart disease found that patients with both heart problems and Erectile Dysfunction, were twice as likely to have a heart attack --- and twice as likely to die.

And researchers worry that a large segment of men are being placed at risk….because they get treated with popular drugs like Viagra and Cialis…and think their problems are solved.

Nearly 2 billion dollars of Viagra were sold just last year

Researchers already knew there was a link …because both are connected to restricted blood flow.

But because of the new study …doctors will be given stronger guidelines - to treat patients with E.D. as heart patients too.
