These are blocked earlier than the arteries of the heart and thus are the early symptoms of coronary artery disease.

According to the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, men suffering from ED have 48% more chances of developing heart diseases and ultimately the higher death rate than those having no sexual problems.

Apart from the traditional risk factors of diabetes, obesity and hypertension does not have a strengthening link explaining the fact that impotence caused not due to the partnership and psychological problems, is clearly a risk factor for the heart diseases.
