Mount Sinai Researchers Use Imaging to Detect Link Between Atherosclerosis and Erectile Dysfunction in Multi-Center Study

San Francisco, CA USA (UroToday.com) -- For the first time, researchers have used advanced imaging of penile arteries to show a link between atherosclerosis and erectile dysfunction (ED). 

Why the Research Is Interesting:  Atherosclerosis has been linked to causing ED in the majority of patients with this cardiovascular condition, but researchers have not had the means of demonstrating atherosclerosis in penile arteries.  This first-of-its-kind study uses advanced imaging to detect how strong the association actually is.

Should Low-intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy Be the First-line Erectile Dysfunction Treatment for Nonresponders to Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibition?

Some trials have shown an overall benefit of low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT) for erectile dysfunction, while others have been unable to find differences between LI-ESWT and sham treatment.

Dose to the penile bulb and individual patient anatomy are predictive of erectile dysfunction in men treated with 125I low dose rate brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer.

To evaluate the occurrence of erectile dysfunction at 3 years (3yED) after prostate brachytherapy (BT) and to predict 3yED after treatment based on patients and treatments characteristics.

From September 2007 to July 2015, 117 men with mild or no ED [International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) > 16] underwent 125Iodine real-time ultrasound-guided low-dose rate BT to a total dose of 160 Gy for low-risk or favorable intermediate-risk prostate adenocarcinoma, and were followed prospectively during 3 years.
