Echocardiography in Men With Erectile Dysfunction
Sponsor: Herlev and Gentofte Hospital
Summary
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. To curb disease development, there is, therefore, a need to identify more people at increased risk. This can be done by advanced echocardiography, where the exact contraction pattern and dimensions of the heart are measured. One group of patients who are already considered to be at increased risk for later development of heart disease are men with erectile dysfunction. The investigators goal is to study the early detection of cardiac dysfunction in men with erectile dysfunction using both conventional and advanced echocardiography to analyze the possibility of preventing serious cardiovascular disease.
