Erectile Dysfunction in Men Burdened with the Familial Occurrence of Coronary Artery Disease
Erectile dysfunction (ED) and coronary artery disease (CAD) share common risk factors, some of which have genetic backgrounds, while others may be stimulated by family lifestyle. We investigated the impact of the familial occurrence of CAD on the presence of ED and the presence of classic risk facto...
