Endothelial Markers and Tadalafil Response
Sponsor: Al-Azhar University
Summary
This prospective cohort study will recruit eligible men attending the Urology/Andrology outpatient clinic. Baseline assessment will include demographic and clinical data, cardiovascular risk assessment, erectile-function questionnaires, routine laboratory investigations, brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation, carotid intima-media thickness, and selected circulating endothelial biomarkers including endothelin-1, nitrite/nitrate, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1. All participants will receive tadalafil 5 mg once daily for 12 weeks. Erectile function, adherence, and adverse events will be assessed during follow-up. The primary outcome will be clinical response at 12 weeks, defined as an improvement of at least 4 points in the IIEF-EF domain together with a positive response to the Global Assessment Question.
